Academic Appeal Form – Formal Stage Page 1 of 7
Version: 4.0 (August 2020)
Owner: Academic Registrar
You should complete this form if you want to formally raise concerns about an academic decision, including your
ratified academic results or any circumstances that you believe may have affected your academic results. If the
issue you are concerned about is more generally related to academic matters but not academic results, you
should use the Student Complaints Procedure (available on MySuffolk and the University of Suffolk website).
Before completing this form and beginning formal procedures, you should first have attempted to resolve the
matter informally (also referred to as early resolution). Support and advice is available from a number of sources
– try speaking to your tutor, personal tutor, or supervisor. Student Services and/or the Students’ Union Advice
Service will also provide confidential and independent advice.
To begin the formal procedure, complete this form as indicated in each section. You will need to provide details
of your attempts at early resolution and attach all evidence relevant to your appeal. If you have any concerns or
queries about filling in the form, the people mentioned above will be pleased to discuss these with you.
