Results

It's important to enjoy the time between exams and results and not to worry excessively about them. If you are very worried, you could try speaking to your personal tutor, or the Counselling Service.

If you are anxious when you get your results try taking a deep breath and use the imagery and relaxation techniques described in relaxation.

 
Academic Appeals
In a few cases, students feel that they want to appeal against decisions made about marks on exams or essays. The most important thing to note is that you only one calendar month after the date on which the School posted the decision in which to appeal against.
It is important to note the University's procedure for doing this which can be found here.

The Grounds for Appeal are stated as:

The grounds for making an appeal are that there was a procedural defect in the conduct of the examination and/or in the processing of scripts, and/or in the assessment of the candidate (including the proceedings of boards of examiners) as to render the decision of the examiners unsafe, and/or to introduce new medical or mitigating circumstances as set out in Regulation 7 below.

1)The grounds in regulation 5 shall include but shall not be limited to miscalculation of marks.
2)Failure of the examination board to consider any statement that both details any medical and/or mitigating circumstances experienced by the candidate and explains how such circumstances adversely affected her/his examination performance
3)Exceptionally it shall be permissible for any candidate to present, as part of the appeal new information about medical or mitigating circumstances that adversely affected her/his examination performance provided that it is corroborated by official documented evidence and that there was good reason for such evidence not to have been presented earlier.

The academic judgment of a board of examiners, having acted according to all relevant Regulations and procedures, shall not be called into question by these Regulations.

 
If you think you would like to pursue an Academic Appeal, you should first read the full regulations using the link above and then consult with your personal tutor or the SU Education and Welfare Officer as soon as possible.
