Can I attend my course if I am appealing?

If you have submitted an appeal and it is being progressed, you have the right to continue with your programme, provided that: you have sufficient credit to progress, you are not in debt to the University and you have satisfied fitness to practice procedures until such time as a decision has been reached. Students on professional courses such as midwifery and nursing are not able to undertake any placement activity whilst an appeal is ongoing, placements can resume if an appeal is upheld. This right is designed solely to ensure that a student whose appeal is upheld is not academically disadvantaged and it should not be interpreted as acceptance of a failed student on a subsequent stage of the programme.
