Appeals

Marks are not final until they have been confirmed by the academic board. This will show on My UCLan, but if you are unsure if the mark has been confirmed you should check with your Course/Module Leader.

You cannot appeal if you think that they marker should have given you more marks, or you think that your work was better than someone else’s.

This is classed as questioning the judgement of the marker and is not a valid reason for appeal.

If however you think there has been a irregularities in the marking process this may be grounds of appeal, so please proved detail to the advice service on the enquiry form, so that an adviser can consider this with you.

There is a 2nd stage appeal process, which the advice service can support you with.

However, we would need to see the outcome letter from your 1st stage appeal and if you attended a meeting, the notes from that meeting.

If you don’t have these, please ask studentappeals@uclan.ac.uk to supply them.

A 2nd stage appeal should be submitted with 14 days of the outcome of your 1st stage appeal and be on one of the below grounds:

G1 that the first stage appeal process was not conducted fairly and/or in accordance with the published procedure.

G2 that the decision of the first stage appeal was not reasonable in all the circumstances.

G3 that there is material new evidence that for good reason could not be made known at the first stage appeal.

Please complete the enquiry form letting us know which of these grounds you believe you case falls under and why.

As The Advice Service is part of Students’ Union we are independent from the University so do not have access to university systems or student records, so cannot check this for you.

You appeal should have been submitted to studentappeals@uclan.ac.ukso you should contact them for an update.
