If you're a Masters student, an SU Advisor can help you appeal your final result, degree classification or a decision code. 

For advice on how to submit your appeal, read our guide below and email suadvice@bath.ac.uk with a draft of your appeal form. We are likely to ask to see a draft of your appeal form before making an appointment, to help you make the most of the meeting. Your email will be treated in confidence by an Advisor who will usually reply in 1-2 working days.

 

There are two stages to the academic appeal process.

In Stage 1, you submit your case and receive an outcome. You will only proceed to Stage 2 if you’re unsatisfied with the outcome of Stage 1.

Stage 1. Appeal

Step 1. Receive your results on SAMIS and identify the decision/s you want to appeal

Step 2. Confirm the grounds for your appeal

Step 3. Identify the outcome you want to achieve from the appeal

Step 4. Start to work on your Academic Appeal form

Step 5. Submit your Academic Appeal Form

Step 6. Prepare for the outcome of your appeal

Step 7. Prepare for an Appeal Hearing

Step 8. Attend the Appeal Hearing

 

Stage 2. Appeal

You will only proceed to this stage if you are unhappy with the outcome of a Stage 1 Appeal.

Step 1. Write to the Director of Academic Registry asking them to review the outcome

Step 2. Prepare for the Director of Academic Registry’s decision

Step 3. Prepare for a Hearing with the Student Academic Appeals Committee

Step 4. Attend the Committee Hearing

This is a summary of the steps explained in Regulation 17; we recommend using this guide to understand the basics and following these links to Regulation 17 and the University Academic Appeals guidance for the finer details.
