What is an Academic Appeal?

An academic appeal allows you, in certain circumstances, to ask for a review of a decision relating to your academic progress or award. All taught and research students are entitled to submit an appeal if you have suitable grounds.

You have 15 working days to submit your appeal from the day you are notified of the decision. This means you have a 3-week deadline.

Those grounds are:

◦ There is evidence that a Student Progress Panel did not reach a decision in accordance with the Academic Regulations.
◦ There is evidence that there was an error in recording or reporting results, or the award decision of a Student Progress Panel.
◦ There is evidence of factor’s affecting your performance that could not reasonably have been submitted earlier.

The Association team can:

◦ Offer you guidance on the appeals process.
◦ Give you guidance on the appeals form and statement.
◦ Advise on additional evidence.
◦ Accompany you to meetings and hearings.

The University’s website offers information about their Appeals Process.
