If you admitted the charge and accepted the School's jurisdiction (authority to issue a penalty), but are dissatisfied with the penalty – you can appeal against the penalty within 10 days of the outcome letter/email – otherwise the penalty will stand.
Grounds for appeal must fall into the following:
- Procedural irregularity of a material nature, including the commission of error during the original meeting;
- New evidence material to the case which the student can demonstrate was for good reason not previously available.
Any appeal would be made to the University Discipline Officer (Liz Hobday e.a.hobday@aston.ac.uk) and must explain in writing how you meet one or both of the grounds of appeal.
Please contact us via advice@aston.ac.uk for more advice if you are considering appealing.
