Grounds of Appeal
Please consider carefully the ground(s) on which you wish to lodge an appeal and indicate as appropriate. An appeal will
NOT be considered unless it is made on one of the permissible grounds as follows:
(i) New evidence has become available which could not have been provided to the
Board of Examiners (BoE) meeting. Evidence that a student chooses to withhold
from the Board of Examiners will not normally constitute new evidence at an
appeal. However, where new evidence is provided which is of a highly sensitive
and confidential nature this will be referred to the Director of Academic and
Student Affairs who will determine if it constitutes grounds for appeal and may
invoke Chairperson’s powers to refer back to the Board of Examiners.
(ii) There has been a procedural irregularity
(iii) For Postgraduate taught students: That there was inadequate supervision of the
thesis/dissertation element of the Postgraduate programme. (An appeal will not
be considered on this ground, unless there is good reason to show why such issues
were not raised by the student promptly at the time they first arose).
Please state who you have discussed this matter with in your School:

Position:
Please give full details of the circumstances relevant to the ground(s) of the appeal.
