If you have completed the School Level Appeal stage and it was rejected you may be able to take your case to a University Level Review but you must have valid grounds to do so these are:
• That there was a material error in the proceedings associated with the School decision, which materially affected that decision; AND or
• That new information has become available, which is material to the original appeal, and which could not have been made know to the School for a demonstrated, valid and over-riding reason.
“Dissatisfaction with the decisions of the School is not alone a valid ground for requesting a review”
Senate Regulations 20 (b).1 School Taught Programmes June 2010
If you wish to apply for a University Level Review you must do so within 21 days of receiving the decision from the School Level Appeal panel.
Once you have submitted your request for a review it will go through an initial scrutiny. They will acknowledge receipt of your request within 7 days of you submitting it, will check that you have valid grounds for requesting the review and that all evidence has been submitted. If you do not correctly complete the document or fail to submit all your evidence your request to have a review may be rejected.
The initial scrutiny can also decide if there is sufficient evidence to conclude that there was a material error and ask the School to rectify the situation immediately. This only applies to administrative errors; otherwise, it will go to the university review panel.
If there is sufficient new evidence the initial scrutiny will send your request back to the School for reconsideration. You will not be able to request a review of this decision by the School unless a material error has been made.
