Don't waste time worrying, call us
It is very important to be aware of any appeal deadline. Different universities have different deadlines and it is best to prepare well in advance. If you miss the deadline it is much harder to defend your position. if missed it is likely that you will not have any further chance to make your academic appeal. Do not leave things to the last minute!
Gather your evidence as soon as you can
There may be the need to get information from your doctor or hospital which can take time. We are adept at advising on evidential issues and, in our experience, there can often be further evidence to get which can make or break an appeal.
Don't be dissuaded
You may be told by someone at the University that it is not worth appealing, that you have no grounds and that you can’t win. You have a right of appeal and it is always better to use it. If your appeal is weak, we will tell you.
Seek our advice
The decision affects your future and your career. Take advice on the decision. The university has legal advisers, why shouldn’t you?
It is not too late - act now!
A case can be winnable even after a decision has been made. There can be times when a university can be persuaded to revisit an appeal it has previously rejected. Alternatively there is always the option to take a complaint to the Office of the Independent Adjudicator for Higher Education.
