Complaints and appeals
If you are unhappy with an aspect of your university experience, your first step is to take it up informally with the department or service in question - we're happy to help once we know that there is a problem. However, if you feel your problem is still not resolved, the University has a formal student complaints procedure to support you.

You also have the right to appeal against any progress decision, such as failing a course or module, that has a negative impact on you or your career. The student appeals procedure supports you through this process.
