How can I submit a progression appeal at King’s?

What is a progression appeal?

There are some instances where King's may remove students from their programme of study for failure to make sufficient academic progress. Such removal may be temporary, e.g. for one semester, or permanent, i.e. the student’s registration will be terminated.

This is set out in Chapter 8 of the Academic Regulations: Concerns, Conduct & Complaints.

If you've received notification of your results and have not passed enough credit to progress to the next year of study, please do not complete a progression appeal form. Instead, read our article How can I make an academic appeal? for guidance on how to make an academic appeal.

How can I make an appeal?

If you would like to make an appeal against the decision to terminate your studies, you must submit a Academic Progress Appeal Form to Student Conduct & Appeals within 10 working days of the written notification of removal.

In accordance with the Academic Regulations, the Principal will allow your appeal to be heard, if they are satisfied that one or more of the following grounds are met:

That new information is to hand which could not have been made available for consideration by the Faculty at or before the time the decision to remove was taken, and sufficient evidence remains that the appeal warrants further consideration;
There is evidence of significant administrative or procedural error, including error relating to sufficient written notice to the student and student compliance with the conditions of written notice, made at or before the time the decision to remove was taken, and sufficient evidence remains that the appeal warrants further consideration;
There are other grounds considered applicable by the Principal, including compassion.
