Guidance on when to appeal and how to appeal past the 10 working day deadline
You have 10 working days from the date of a decision to submit an appeal - If your appeal is late, you will have to provide evidence as to why you could not submit it earlier – a late appeal would usually only be considered in exceptional circumstances.
If you are unable to submit your appeal within this 10 day timeframe, , you will have to provide evidence as to why you could not submit it earlier – a late appeal would usually only be considered in exceptional circumstances.
If you have a valid reason to request an extension to the deadline for submitting your appeal, contact the department that deals with appeals: appealsandcomplaints@shu.ac.uk. You should continue to work on the basis of your original deadline until you hear whether an extension has been agreed.
If you are waiting on evidence to be produced, e.g. a letter from a doctor and you are unsure whether this will be available before the deadline, you can still submit your appeal form. Make sure to clearly state the evidence that you will be submitting and when you expect to be able to provide it.
