Timescales

Deadlines for appeal submission and timescales for consideration of appeals.

Submission deadlines

An appeal cannot be lodged until the Board of Examiners has published its final decision. For course marks or degree outcomes, you will be notified of final decisions in EUCLID Student View.

You must submit your appeal promptly and within the timescales below.

Appeals against Academic decisions

Appeals against decisions of Student Discipline Officers or the Student Discipline Committee

All - within 10 working days of the receipt of the decision.

Appeals against decisions of Fitness to Practise Panels

All - within 10 working days of the receipt of the decision.

Appeals against Exclusion

All - within 10 working days of the receipt of the decision.

Late appeals

Late appeals will only be considered in exceptional circumstances. The decision as to whether or not exceptional circumstances exist for acceptance of an appeal is taken by an appeal sub-committee.

Timescales for Consideration of an Appeal

We are currently receiving a high volume of appeal submissions. We are working to ensure that each appeal submission is dealt with in as timely a manner as possible, but there are unavoidable delays in informing appellants of their appeal outcome at this time. Your patience is appreciated. 

Each appeal is handled individually so we cannot specify how long an appeal will take to be processed. However, we aim to have each appeal submission considered by a Sub-Committee of the relevant Appeal Committee, and the appellant informed of the outcome, within 8 – 10 weeks of receipt. Some appeals may require more or less time depending on each case’s factors. 

At peak times, such as following the release of degree classifications, examination results and progression decisions, there may be a delay to informing students of their appeal outcomes.
