Academic Appeals

Sometimes things happen that impact your studies and performance in assessments – illness, bereavement, jury service, and other unforeseen circumstances.

Equally, sometimes mistakes are made and lead to errors in your results. If the Board of Examiners or Tutors have issued you with a decision that you disagree with, you may be able to appeal against this.

An appeal will present your circumstances and argument for why this decision should be changed, what you are asking for it to be changed to and provide any relevant supporting evidence.
 

How can the Advice Service support me?

The Student Advisers can advise and assist you in deciding whether you have grounds for appeal by discussing your circumstances and can offer practical help and support in completing the Appeals form and gathering the relevant evidence required to support your case. The Adviser will provide ongoing support throughout the whole process and will stay in touch with you afterwards to ensure that you receive any further help or advice you might need.
