Students may normally appeal against:

•  failure of the course
•  the recommended category of award
•  a decision that a student is required to withdraw from the University because s/he has failed to satisfy the requirements for academic progress
•  a decision that a student is required to resit one or more assessment units, having failed to satisfy the requirements for academic progress (this can include a decision that a student is required to repeat a year) 
• a particular assessment result (this can include the imposition of a penalty for late submission, or failure to submit a piece of work)
•  a decision by a School Student Progress Committee that a student is required to withdraw
• a decision by a Misconduct Panel
• a decision by a Suitability for Professional Practice Panel that a student is required to withdraw
• a decision by the Research Degree Examination Board or the Professional Doctorate Examination Board regarding the outcome of an examination

Where an appeal is determined to be admissible, the Chair of the Appeals Board (or an Appeals Panel) has the authority to determine a remedy appropriate in the circumstances - this may include the upgrading of a student's classification or the offer of an appropriate retrieval opportunity (including the offer of a repeat year).
