To request the return of coursework materials, please complete our request form:

Coursework marked from image (MFI)

Please note for coursework which are marked from image (MFI), only a printout of the scanned image of the original portfolio will be supplied.

Appeals - return of evidence materials

If an appeal is requested for any returnable materials, we are required to retain this work for 12 months after the final decision is made on grades awarded. You may receive a copy of materials.

Exam Exceptional Circumstances Consideration (EECCS) – return of additional evidence

For centres only – if you require the return of the additional evidence sent to SQA as part of a EECCS submission, please contact us by completing the form.

Use the tabs below to open each section individually. Alternatively you can show all the sections.

Unfortunately, some materials cannot be returned. These include USBs/memory sticks as they may hold materials for more than one candidate. Please contact your school, college, or training provider as they may hold a copy of your work.

Any unrequested work (non-appeals) will be securely disposed of at the end of the current calendar year. SQA will hold appeals material for one year, after which we will securely dispose of any unrequested appeals materials.

  • Damaged items - If your materials were damaged during transit to SQA, or during the assessment itself, we may not be able to return them. There is no compensation for any damaged folios.

  • Packaging of materials - If you submit a request to have your materials returned, SQA may not be able to do this in the original packaging. We do not accept requests to return packaging alone (for example portfolio cases). There is no compensation for any packaging materials that are not returned or damaged during the marking process.

  • Materials submitted digitally - Please note that for materials submitted digitally, SQA can only supply a printout of the scanned image of the original portfolio. Your school, college, or training provider may hold your original work.

  • USBs/memory sticks - USB sticks cannot be returned to candidates as they may hold materials for more than one candidate. Please contact your school, college, or training provider as they may hold a copy of your work.
