    You can't dispute a GPA as such - only individual components of individual modules (or maybe the overall module grade). You'd need to have legitimate grounds for each dispute, though, and dissatisfaction with your final GPA isn't normally one.

    How far off the next class of degree were you?

    The easiest way is to go directly to your lecturer(s) before the results are made final. If you think that you can convince them that there's reason to adjust your grade then that's something that they can do. I think that individual schools have meetings whereby lecturers can propose to adjust grades if they see a need. I think that that's the only way that your final results will be different to your provisional.

    I have had one of my grades adjusted using the above method in the past.

    Once the grades are final, the procedure is much more formal, time-consuming, costly and less likely to be successful, judging by this page: http://www.ucd.ie/appeals/exam_appeal.htm
