Termination of Studies
If your performance is unsatisfactory and you have gained insufficient credits for you to progress to the next stage of your programme, your studies may be terminated. This decision is taken by the Faculty not the School but usually following a recommendation from the School.
If you are in this situation you will be notified that your studies are being terminated and you will have ten working days within which to submit a request for the decision to be reviewed by the Faculty. This should be supported by appropriate documentary evidence specifying the reasons. If this request is unsuccessful and the Faculty proceeds to terminate your studies you will have one further right to an appeal to the Senate of the University. In this case appeals should be submitted to the Academic Registrar within one calendar month of receiving the outcome of the Review request to the School.
Full details on the acceptable grounds for appeal and the proceses involved are available from:
