Sharing information about a disability is a personal decision and we understand that you may want to keep it confidential. Even if you have not already told the University about your disability, we encourage you to do so at the start of this appeal process. We can offer support and/or reasonable adjustments to help you participate fully in the appeal process.
Does your academic appeal include one or both of the following grounds?
Procedural irregularities in the assessment process
Bias or perception of bias in the assessment process
Yes, my appeal includes one or both of these grounds
If one or both of the above grounds are included, please include the following information with your appeal:
a factual statement explaining the reasons for your appeal and providing context on how your assessment submission was impacted
your academic transcript or formal results letter. If you do not have either of these, it may be too early for your appeal to be considered. Please check when your formal results will be published. When you have your formal results, you can complete and submit an academic appeal
any independent supporting evidence. This is essential if an element of your appeal is based on your physical or mental health. We cannot accept self-diagnosis.
If your appeal also includes mitigating or personal circumstances, you can include this on your appeal form.
No, my appeal does not include either of these grounds. What do I do next?
If your appeal is based on mitigating or personal circumstances only, please complete and submit a personal circumstances form.
