You must show that your result has been affected by one of the following circumstances:
• That there was a material error, either in the conduct of the assessment itself, or in the proceedings of the Assessment Board, which substantially affected the Assessment Board’s decision; AND or
• That you were subject to extenuating circumstances at the time of the assessments, which:-
i) meet the definition of extenuating circumstances as set out in the Assessment Regulations, and
ii) were not made known to the Assessment Board and
iii) Were not made known to the Assessment Board via the extenuating Circumstances Regulations for a demonstrated, valid and over-riding reason
The full regulations are found here Senate regulation 20 2 (2.1 &2.2)
School appeal taught programmes June 2010
When using these criteria in your appeal, one of the most important things you should remember to do is to provide evidence to back up what you are saying. This is especially important when you are appealing on the grounds of extenuating circumstances; the evidence MUST be relevant to the time you sat the exam or submitted the coursework. For example, if it is a doctor’s note, it must state that the doctor saw you on the day/week before or immediately after. your exam or course work deadline. If you are appealing on the other ground, it may not be possible to provide evidence; in this case, you should carefully consider what you put into your appeal letter before sending it. We would highly recommend seeing a Student Adviser to discuss this.
