Read the guidance on Academic Appeals before continuing on this page.
If you have decided to make a formal appeal about a result, you should submit the form on this page. The form offers guidance at each step.
You can only appeal:
- After your Transcript of Results has been published
- For UG/PGT student - within 21 days of the date your Transcript was published online
- For PGR students - within the time limit stated in your formal decision letter
Remember, there are only three grounds under which an appeal may be made.
How an appeal is considered
A Stage One appeal is first considered by the Student Casework Team to determine if it is valid and in time.
If a Stage One appeal is accepted, it will be passed to Registry Operations team who will consider the information provided and propose a resolution in line with Goldsmiths’ regulations, policies and procedures.
If an appeal is upheld or partially upheld, the Registry Operations team will then seek ratification from the relevant Programme Chair.
Depending on the nature of the outcome proposed, an appeal may also require School Board ratification, in which case the appeal could take slightly longer to resolve. The Student Casework Team will keep students updated on the progress of their appeals via email.
At any point during the investigation of an appeal, the Student Casework Team may contact an appellant to clarify the grounds of appeal or seek further information and supporting evidence.
