What are the deadlines for submitting a form?
Evidenced Extensions
You should, where possible, submit an Evidenced Extension (formerly Assessment Mitigation) claim before your coursework submission deadline or exam. If you submit a claim after a coursework deadline, you may not be provided with an extension and instead the only remedy available may be a resubmission in the next assessment period.
You can visit the Digital student hub for more information on how to apply for an evidenced extension.
Complaints
The sooner you raise a complaint, the easier it is for the University to investigate.
You are expected to make an informal complaint within 1 month of the incident giving rise to the complaint. If you wish to make a formal complaint you must do so within 3 months of the incident.
If you have left the University, or have recently graduated, you should make a formal complaint within 3 calendar months of your registration ending. Complaints submitted after this deadline are only considered in exceptional circumstances.
Academic Appeals
Grounds for Appeal | Deadline |
Against Evidenced Extension decision (formerly Assessment Mitigations) | Within 14 days of receiving your Evidenced Extension decision |
Against Academic Misconduct decision | Within 14 days of receiving your Academic Misconduct decision |
Material Irregularity | After you have received your results from the assessment board. You must submit an Appeal within 14 days of receiving your results |
Against Withdrawal decision | Within 7 days of the date of your Withdrawal letter |
Any Appeals submitted after the deadline may not be considered. If your Appeal is late, you must clearly explain the reasons why you have not submitted it on time. If these reasons are not considered reasonable reasons for a delay, your Appeal will not be considered.
