Appeal form guidance
We understand that there are many different reasons why you might submit an academic appeal, and that it can be a very difficult time.
This guidance document covers how to fill in the appeal form. It is split into two main sections: Formal Stage appeals and Review Stage appeals. Within both sections there is information about the appeal form, followed by more detailed guidance on each appeal category.
The guidance includes links to sources of support that are available to you.

Before deciding whether to submit an academic appeal, you must first verify that you have the right to appeal and that you can establish valid grounds to appeal. We advise you to read the Student Academic Appeals Procedures in full before completing your appeal form.
Similarly, you are strongly encouraged to talk with the appropriate person in your academic department. It may be that your concerns about the result/decision might be more clear, or that they can be resolved informally.
York SU Advice and Support provide free, confidential, specialist advice on the appeals process. We strongly advise that you seek their support prior to submitting your academic appeal.
