Appeals

In the first instance, you should take any academic problems you may have to your Personal Tutor. If this is not possible, you can seek advice from your course director. You can also consult the Students' Union for any advice, support or representation.

It is important to note that you cannot make an appeal against the academic judgment of the examiners. You cannot dispute marks given for individual pieces of work or modules.

Your grounds for appeal must fall into the following three categories and you must have evidence that was not available to the Board of Examiners when their decision was reached:

Mitigating circumstances: you might have evidence that shows your performance in the exam was impaired, for example, by illness or bereavement. If the examiners were not aware of this evidence you must give good reasons why you did not make them aware of it. An example would be that it was a particularly sensitive illness or problem, you will need to submit a Mitigating Circumstances form 5.1E/5.2E

Maladministration : you may be able to show that there were procedural irregularities in the conduct of the exam. For example, the marks were incorrectly calculated or a paper had been lost.

Prejudice or bias: you can provide evidence of prejudice or bias on the part of the examiners.

To make an appeal, a verification form will need to be completed and submitted to Academic Registry, this will then be processed by the examining board. If the verification process indicates there is an error in your favour the examining board will reconsider your examination performance and subsequently arrange for the publication of a new pass list. If un-successfull at the verification stage, you will be made aware of your right to appeal. Details of the verificcation and appeals procedure and guidelines can be found below, please do read them.
