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 SU Vice President/Education Officer, Alex Hales at the Students' Union.
It is very 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.
-
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
If you can provide evidence that you have been treated unfairly under one or more of these grounds, you should appeal within 10 days of the decision.
