Academic Appeals. 22.1 An academic appeal is a request for a review of a decision of an academic body charged with making decisions on student progression, assessment and awards. There are separate policies for taught awards (undergraduate and postgraduate taught courses) and for postgraduate research awards. There are some differences between the details of the two policies, which are highlighted below. For more information see: • Taught courses: Academic Appeals (Taught Awards): Policy and Procedure (see xxx.xxxxxxxxxxx.xx.xx/ important-information, under Appeals). • Research awards: Academic Appeals: Policy and Procedures for Research Awards (see xxx.xxxxxxxxxxx.xx.xx/xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx, under Appeals).
22.2 Disagreement with the academic judgement of the examiners is not grounds for appeal. We will only consider an appeal if you make it on one of the following grounds: • There was a material irregularity or significant administrative error in the assessment process • The assessment was not conducted in accordance with the regulations for the course • Your performance was affected by illness or other mitigating factors (see paragraph 22.3) • Bias or the perception of bias in the assessment process/consideration of the appeal • There was a material irregularity or significant administrative error in the assessment process of such nature as to cause doubt as to whether the result might have been different had there not been such irregularity • There is evidence of bias, prejudice or improper assessment on the part of one or more of the examiners • Your performance was affected by illness or other mitigating factors (see paragraph 22.3) • That arrangements for supervision did not meet those outlined in the Code of Practice for Research Degrees (see xxx.xxxxxxxxxxx.xx.xx/xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx, under Research).
22.3 You must tell us about mitigating factors under the relevant procedure before the Assessment Board meeting for taught courses, or before or during the meeting of the Research Examination Team for research elements. If you did not do this, you cannot appeal based on these factors. For more information, see the Mitigating Circumstances including Extensions: Policy and Procedure (xxx.xxxxxxxxxxx.xx.xx/xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx, under Mitigating Circumstances) and the Code of Practice for Research Degrees (xxx.xxxxxxxxxxx.xx.xx/xxxxxxxxx- information, under Research).
22.4 The academic appeals procedures have three stages, a local stage, a central review stage and a he...
Academic Appeals local stage: You must appeal within ten working days of the publication of the results of the Assessment Board for taught courses, or the date of the written decision for research awards. Except in exceptional circumstances, we will not consider an appeal that we receive after this deadline. To appeal, you should email or write to the Faculty. Contact details are available on the website; please mark your letter or email as an appeal. Many appeals can be resolved informally. The Faculty will respond, normally within 15 working days. We will tell you if there is a delay and keep you informed of progress.
Academic Appeals hearing stage: If you are not satisfied with the outcome of the central stage, you may ask an Appeals Board to consider your appeal. You must email your request to xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx.xx.xx within ten working days of the central review response explaining why you are not satisfied with the response. We will decide whether the appeal is within the grounds set out in the policy (see paragraph 22.2) and whether to hold an Appeals Board. If we decide that your appeal is not within these grounds, we will write to you and give you the reasons. If we decide to hold an Appeals Board, we will normally hold it within 20 working days and we will normally give you ten working days’ notice of the date. If you are not able to attend, we will try to re-schedule, but in some circumstances, we may go ahead without you. We will normally tell you the decision of the Appeals Board within one hour of the end of the hearing and we write to you with the outcome within five working days. If your appeal is not upheld, we will give you reasons. If there is a delay, we will tell you and keep you informed of progress. BU Student Agreement BU Student Agreement
