Academic Reviews, Academic Review Appraisals & Academic Review Appeals

Introduction

The information on these pages offers students of the University of Bath a practical guide through the University’s academic review, review appraisal and review appeal procedures. This information is intended to be of particular help to students considering whether to request an academic review (often called an academic appeal).

These webpages provide a summary of the relevant processes and access to the appropriate form, as well as links to sources of support. In addition to reading the information summarised here, students who are engaged in any of the processes outlined on these pages are strongly encouraged to consult the University’s formal regulations and procedures (links to which are at the bottom of this page) and to seek the advice of the Students' Union Advice and Representation Centre.

Academic Reviews

The Academic Review process allows students the opportunity to apply for a reconsideration of a decision of a Board of Studies (e.g., in relation to degree classification, failure or academic progression).

Academic Review Appraisals

The Academic Review Appraisal process allows students the opportunity to dispute a decision that there is no prima facie case to support their request for an academic review. This procedure can only be initiated by a student who has completed the Academic Review process above.

Academic Review Appeals

The Academic Review Appeal process allows students to dispute a decision taken by a Review Sub-Committee.
