Your University

If you are an undergraduate student, you may at some point need to challenge a university decision, explain circumstances that affected your performance in an assessment, or respond to an allegation of academic misconduct. The procedure you need to follow will depend on what has happened and, importantly, different procedures have different grounds, requirements and deadlines. This guide explains the key procedures available to undergraduate students at specific universities, including academic appeals, mitigating circumstances, and academic misconduct proceedings.

This page is based on the universities’ published regulations and guidance. University procedures change, so the current version of the relevant regulations should always be checked.
