If you request a Stage 2: Formal Review, you can expect to receive notification of the Head of School or Executive Dean's decisionÌýwithin 10 business daysÌýof lodging your request.

Previous record

If you are seeking to appeal an outcome of academic misconduct made against you, and you haveÌýa previous academic integrity record on the Academic Integrity Register, you must proceed directly to a Stage 3: Internal University Appeal.

Lodging your appeal

If the Head of School rejects your Stage 2: Formal Review request and you are still dissatisfied with the outcome, you may lodge a Stage 3: Internal University Appeal. You will have 20 business days, from the date you receive a determination, in which to lodge an appeal.

To do this, you must complete theÌýstudent appeal applicationÌýonline form (word version available here)Ìýand submit to Student Affairs.

Before submitting your appeal application form, you should read theÌýappeal submission guideÌýto ensure your application is complete.

You are encouraged to seek free, independent and confidential advice on what options are available to you in your particular circumstances, by contacting an Education and Welfare Officer (EWO) inÌý.

If yourÌýappeal application isÌýfound to have grounds by Student Affairs, the University will attempt to negotiate a mutually agreeable resolution between you and the respondent (e.g. the Head of School or delegate).Ìý

If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of your appeal, you are able to make a complaint to an external agency. You are also able to do this at any stage of the process. A number ofÌýexternal agenciesÌýmay be able to assist, depending on your type of complaint.
