There are strict rules with regards to academic appeal. You can appeal the decision of the Board of Examiners (only after they have issued your Academic Transcript). if your circumstances fit one of the permitted grounds for appeal.
These are:
You cannot appeal because you don’t like the grade, or think you deserved a better one.
The Students’ Union staff can advise on whether you have grounds for appealing, how to write your letter of appeal and what evidence to attach.
A new Student Guide to Academic Appeals has been developed to provide advice and assistance to students who intend to make, or have made, an academic appeal. Please read it carefully!
