If you have failed an examination or assessment and think the result should be reconsidered you can submit a request for an appeal on two grounds. Contact academic.advice@kclsu.org for help.

You can appeal on the grounds of mitigating circumstances if you feel that your performance was or may be affected by circumstances beyond your control, for example, you may have been unwell during an exam, or a close relative may have been unwell or died.

You need to fill in a mitigating circumstances form if you are in the run up to assessments, or have just taken an assessment. Or if you have recieved your grades you need to fill out an EDR2 form. To support this application you will need to attach relevant evidence such as medical certificates. You may also wish to write a cover letter explaining exactly what happened to affect your performance

You can appeal on the grounds of procedural error if you think the College made a mistake which affected your result, for example if you were given an incomplete question paper or not registered for an exam you were supposed to sit.

You need to fill in a mitigating circumstances form or an EDR2 form. To support this application you will need to attach relevant evidence such as medical certificates. You may also wish to write a cover letter explaining exactly what happened to affect your performance.

After you have submitted your EDR2 form your appeal will either be turned down or you will be called to a committee who will consider your appeal. Their job is to determine whether you have sufficient grounds to have your result reconsidered. They will have received copies of any documentation you attached to your appeal. This will be your opportunity to present your case, so prepare what you want to say beforehand. A student rep can accompany you to speak for you if you prefer, or to add anything you might leave out. Usually the committee will decide on the day whether or not to grant the appeal and will let you know there and then as well as in writing.
