Appeals

An Academic Appeal is a request for reconsideration of a decision made by the University Assessment Board, Progression Board or Committee of Senate.

An appeal enables you (where there are valid grounds) to request that a decision about an assessment outcome is reconsidered.

All appeals will be dealt with confidentially, unless disclosure is necessary to progress the appeal.

An appeal can be made by any student who is enrolled at a course of study at the University of Cumbria or by recent graduates if within the stipulated timescale.
