Guidance for appealing covering a range of issues
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
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.
You can find more information on appeals on the Student’s Union webpage: https://www.hallamstudentsunion.com/support/academic/article/6013/Appeals/
Details of the University’s rules and regulations for appeals can be found in their website: https://www.shu.ac.uk/myhallam/university-life/university-rules-and-regulations/appeals-and-complaints/appeals
Once you have had a look through all of the information, the next step would be to draft your appeal. Our Advice Team can have a look at a draft form and provide feedback if it is sent to us with enough time. You can contact the team by submitting the Ask Us form on this webpage: https://www.hallamstudentsunion.com/ask/
To submit the appeal you will need to complete the Student Concerns Form, this can be found on the university website here : https://forms.office.com/e/GkKyvrHbZk
