Appeals

What is an Appeal?

An Appeal is a formal procedure by which a registered student can appeal against a University Assessment Board decision which result in their studies being terminated or their normal progression being delayed or which relate to the classification of their awards. In order to submit your appeal you must complete the University’s Academic Appeal Form.

On what grounds can I appeal against an Assessment Board’s decision?

There are two grounds on which you can appeal:

1. Personal, medical or other grounds
2. Procedural or other academic grounds

How long do I have to submit the Appeal?

You have ten working days (two calendar weeks) from the date on which you received formal notification of the Assessment Board’s decision.  Appeals will not normally be considered if received outwith this period, unless you can provide good reasons for the delay. No Appeals received after six months from the date of the Board’s decision will be considered.
