Academic Appeals (Stage Two)

If, after considering Stage 1 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

If you submitted a Stage One appeal, but did not receive your Stage One outcome until after the appeal deadline stated on your published transcript, you have one additional week from the date of your Stage One outcome email from Registry Operations to submit a Stage Two appeal form. If you do not think you will be able to submit your Stage Two appeal within a week of receiving your Stage One outcome, please contact us at appeals(@gold.ac.uk).

More on when you can appeal and appealing after the deadline for UG/PGT students and PGR students.

Remember, there are only three grounds under which an appeal may be made.

How an appeal is considered

An appeal is first considered by the Student Casework Team to see if it is valid and in time. If your form does not appear to set out valid grounds, or if it is late, the Student Casework Team will contact you to clarify your grounds of appeal or seek information and supporting evidence. 

If your appeal is accepted, it will be passed to Registry Operations who will consider it and propose a resolution in line with Goldsmiths’ regulations, policies and procedures, and will then seek ratification from the relevant Programme Chair. It may be that an appeal outcome requires School Board ratification, in which case your appeal may take slightly longer to resolve. 

The Student Casework Team will keep you updated on the progress of your Stage Two appeal via email.
