What is the process for registering complaints and academic appeals?
The University has established Regulations governing Appeals against decisions of Assessment Boards which are available to students in the Student Handbook and on the University’s web pages. The Regulations incorporate the appointment by Academic Board of independent members. The grounds on which an appeal shall be deemed valid are set out in the Regulations in Section C2. Disagreement with the academic judgement of a Subject Standards Board or an Awards Board shall not in itself constitute grounds for a request for reconsideration by a student. In matters of grievance unrelated to assessment, students shall be referred to the University’s Student Complaints Procedure and all students shall be given opportunities to take up legitimate concerns through the appropriate channels, such as their representatives on course committees, at an early stage. More about this can be obtained from the presentation in the section: Academic Misconduct and Appeals, and in the Regulations Handbook. http:
