How do I appeal against an academic decision/my interim classification?

You can appeal an academic decision made by a Board of Examiners, including an interim award, under the University’s Academic Queries and Appeal Procedure by submitting an academic query (Level 1) to your school office.

Before appealing an interim decision, please bear in mind that all student profiles affected by the marking delays due to the industrial action will be reviewed once all missing marks are returned which can result in a higher award and you may wish to wait until the final outcome is known before submitting an appeal.

If you decide to proceed with an appeal, please ensure you read the ‘Quick guide to Academic Queries and Appeals’ carefully. You should submit your appeal in writing directly to your school under Level 1 of the procedure.

Reports about the service and/or treatment you have received from an Academic Unit/Service or staff member are dealt with under a separate process - the Student Complaints and Resolution Procedure.
