If you have received your formal results from the Board of Examiners or the Research Degree Committee and you feel that there has been an irregularity, you may be able to submit an Academic Appeal. Below is some important information but if you are unsure, please get in touch.

You have 10 working days to submit your Academic Appeal. The grounds for submitting an Academic Appeal are:

• A material administrative error: Any mistake the university does, for example filling the wrong mark on your transcript, not transferring a deferral which had previously been agreed, or uploading the wrong task on the blackboard.
• The assessment has not been conducted in accordance with university regulations: An event came up during your assessment which disrupted the good conduct of the assessment. For example, a fire alarm went off during your examination and you were given less time to finish your exam as a result. This would also include if you have received incorrect advice or no advice on the assessment.
• A material irregularity: For example, you’ve been given the wrong paper, the incorrect assessment type, or your assessment was not marked in accordance with the marking criteria. Basically, any academic regulations regarding good conduct that have not been followed.
