Guidance for appeal cases
As a student you have the right to appeal individual decisions.
Main content
An individual decision can for example be decisions on admission, absence and leaves of absence and loss of admission. If you wish to appeal a decision you must do it in writing. Send a letter or an email where it is made clear:
- Who you are
- Which case the appeal is regarding
- What you wish to appeal and why
- Which changes you want
The appeal must be sent within three weeks from the date you recieved the decision. You send the appeal to the body (faculty/department) who made the decision you are appealing, who will assess you appeal first. If the body does not find grounds to change their decision following your appeal, the case will be sent to The Central Appeals Committee. In student related matters the committee make the final decision. The committee's decision may not be appealed.
Information on The Central Appeals Committee from the university's website.
As long as your appeal has not been decided, you can withdraw it. If you wish to withdraw your appeal, contact the body you sent it to.
If you need advice or guidance you can contact the university's Ombud for Students. The Ombud is an independent service, who's main function is to safeguard the legal security of students at the university by providing advice and guidance in student related matters.
