Making an appeal

You can submit an appeal against if you can prove that there was a procedural error in arriving at an academic decision, or on the basis of Exceptional Circumstances Affecting Assessment that, for good reason, you can provide evidence that you had exceptional circumstances which you could not have raised at the time of the assessment (see Section 7.13) or a procedural irregularity in the assessment. However,  you cannot appeal against an academic judgement of your work (this is the marker’s opinion under the Academic Appeals procedure). Seek support from your supervisor and/or the Graduate Students’ Association (GSA) Advice and Support service before deciding whether to submit an academic appeal.

For information on making a complaint, see the Rules and Responsibilities section of the handbook.
