When can I appeal?

An appeal may be made in circumstances where a student’s performance in examinations or assessment has been adversely affected by serious matters beyond his or her control. The circumstances or grounds of an appeal are strictly limited to:

• Material, administrative error or procedural irregularity, which has affected your results.
• The production of significant new evidence concerning extenuating or mitigating circumstances which for good reason had not been made available to the Boards of Examiners at a University Assessment Board.
• Where re-registration to re-attend a module following reassessment (Regulation F8.6) has not been offered and there is new evidence relating to the student’s engagement or non-engagement with reassessment, which had not been available to the UPAB, for good reason, at the time of making that decision

Appeals must be submitted within TEN working days of the publication of your results.

Concerns about the quality of the delivery of a programme or service or about the action or inaction of a member of staff, you  can use the University Complaints Procedure.

Disagreement with any mark or grade will not constitute grounds for an appeal.
