Can I appeal the outcome of my Exceptional Circumstances (ECs) request?

Basic guidance on appealing the outcome of a denied EC request.

If you have applied for consideration of extenuating circumstances, and this has been rejected, you can appeal again to have them considered. 

You will need to demonstrate grounds to submit an appeal. You can only appeal if:

• There has been an error or irregularity in the application of university policy and procedure.
• There is relevant new evidence or information that you did not provide and you have a valid reason why you did not submit it at the time

If you would like to appeal, we strongly encourage you to speak to The Students' Union Advice Centre who offer independent advice and can support you through the process. You can contact the team through the Ask Us form which can be accessed here: https://www.hallamstudentsunion.com/ask/
