• The official outcome letter;
• Why this decision was not correct, with reference to the:

If you submit an appeal that does not contain information relating to the three points above, this may significantly affect the chances of your appeal being successful.

Once you have written your appeal, you should submit it to Student Integrity at appeals@anu.edu.au.

Your appeal MUST be submitted within 20 working days from when you were advised of the decision. Appeals received after this time will not be accepted.

Your appeal will then be considered by the delegate of the ADE, who may discuss it with parties relevant to the appeal. The delegate of the ADE will not discuss your appeal with any other individual, and your appeal will not affect any aspect of your future study at the ANU.

A procedural appeal is an appeal claiming that the University has failed to follow the relevant rules, policies or procedures that govern this process, and this has unfairly disadvantaged you.

Examples of procedural grounds may be (but are not limited to):

• The University did not adhere to published timeframes;
• The original decision was made by someone without delegation;
• You did not receive notification of the decision in writing.

If you are unsure of what a procedural appeal is or whether you may have grounds for one, we encourage you to discuss it with the prior to lodging a procedural appeal to ensure that you have a case.

If you believe that you do have grounds to lodge a procedural appeal, your appeal needs to be submitted to Student Integrity at appeals@anu.edu.au. You must lodge it within 20 working days from when you received the decision of the Associate Dean in Step 2. Student Integrity will then organise for your procedural appeal to be passed on to the relevant Deputy Vice-Chancellor for consideration.

The Deputy Vice-Chancellor will only consider whether correct University procedure was followed when reviewing a procedural appeal. As a result, your appeal at this level should not be the same as the appeal submitted to the Associate Dean in Step 2.

Once the decision has been made, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor will notify you of the outcome in writing within 20 working days.

The decision of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor is the final decision of the University.
