If a decision has been made to exclude or withdraw you from the University it is possible to appeal against this.

If the decision is due to Disciplinary Procedures, Fitness to Study, Fitness to Practise/Health and Conduct, Progression Procedures or Academic Misconduct you should read our related articles on how to appeal these.

If the decision to withdraw you is due to academic failure, then you will need to appeal using the Academic Appeals Procedure.

An academic decision made at School level may be appealed to the Committee on Applications. This is a Committee made up of senior academic staff, not from your School.

All appeals should be sent to the Student Cases Team. You can read how to appeal in our related articles.

If you need help writing your appeal or considering if you want to appeal, you can contact us at LUU Advice.

Decisions that can be made at appeal are:

• to agree with the original decision and/or penalty
• to reduce or vary the penalty
• to increase the penalty
• to uphold the appeal, remove the penalty and overturn the findings of the School

If you are still unhappy with the decision from Student Cases you can seek a review from the Deputy Vice Chancellor (DVC), or if your appeal was rejected at the initial review stage you can take it to the Office of the Independent Adjudicator (the OIA).

If you would like advice or support on appealing to the DVC or the OIA, come in and chat to us.
