University and study issues
The SRC Advice Centre can offer advice and information on a number of university or study issues.
Academic Appeals
You can appeal by letter against various decisions that affect your study if you believe you have grounds for appeal. The rules relating to appeals are listed in the University Calendar. See also the advice centre’s Guide to Academic Appeals.
