1. Yes, you can approach the examination board, explain your case, you need a valid reason you can't get it done just because you need a higher score! It has to be that you feel your work deserves a higher mark and yours was marked unfairly.
2. Yes you can be regraded, but 2.2 is an acceptable degree to many employers. Be prepared that if you ask to be regraded then there is the danger they could mark you down instead of up, I only say this because it's what I was told (I got a 2.2 like yourself) and it made me think twice!
3. I know this doesnt directly answer your question, but Ive got a 2.2 in fine art and its never bothered me one jot. All I put on my cv is that I have a degree and that opens the doors I find. Good luck!
4. When you write down your degree grade, give the percentage as well...after all...I got a 2.2, with overall of 59. odd%, one more mark would have changed it Yes, carry on with Art....I am still passionate about English..even though I don't use my degree for my job.
5. You can ask to be re-graded. Chances are the Dean of your school will have to defend you to an Academic Board of some kind. No one has ever asked for my GPA. I know it comes up when writing grants sometime but has little to do with the next step in your education and certainly nothing to do with Gallery Exhibitions. Luck!
