Student Forms

Forms to appeal academic decisions, extenuating circumstances and suspension of studies.

Go to Academic Regulations for details of the following:

  • Academic Appeals (Awards and Progression) Procedure
  • Student Misconduct Procedure

For complaints please go to the Complaints Handling Procedure

The University operates a Fit to Sit Policy and our video provides a short overview of the Policy:

Further detail can be found in the Fit to Sit Policy and the Coursework Extension and Deferral Request Forms.

Session 2024-25

All of the documents supplied apply to the current academic session.

Self-certification process is only in operation for Coursework Extension Requests and Deferral Requests. Self-certification is not in operation for the University’s appeals procedures. Therefore, self-certification will not be accepted in relation to Academic Appeals (Awards and Progression) Procedure, Academic and Non-Academic Misconduct Appeals, Fitness to Practise Appeals and Fitness to Study Appeals. The expectation is that any students using these processes will provide supporting evidence as required by, and detailed in, the Academic Regulations, Fit to Sit Policy and associated forms.

All documents using the DOCX Word Document format should be opened and completed on a desktop or laptop as they may not be able to be edited on a mobile or tablet device. We are looking into solutions to improve this experience.

NB The Interruption of Studies Request Form was previously known as Temporary Suspension of Studies.

Remember, if you are struggling with your studies or need to talk about personal circumstances, several helpful resources are available across the University. We would strongly recommend that you discuss your situation with your personal tutor and explore the support services available.
