A student appeal is defined as a request to review a decision of an academic body charged with making decisions on student engagement, assessment, progression, awards and student disciplinary cases.

Please note that you must submit your appeal in writing on the relevant form within 10 working days from the publication date which informed you of the decision against which you are appealing.
