4.10 Formal appeals

You can appeal your results if:

you’ve queried your result as explained in Section 4.9, ‘Queries’, and
you can show that some part of the process leading to the issue of the result has not been carried out properly, or has been carried out relying on information that did not accord fully with the University’s records at the time.

If there’s evidence that your result was awarded improperly, your case will be considered by the Director, Students who has powers to consider the case for an appeal but not to change the course result. Only if the Director, Students upholds the appeal will the Examination and Assessment Board be asked to reconsider your result.

To make an appeal

If you feel you have grounds for appeal, write to the Complaints and Appeals Office within twenty-one days of the date of the reply to your original query, stating the grounds for your appeal.
