A Step 3 Appeal is the last step within UniSC Internal review process. It Is important to set out the reasons why you disagree with the previous outcome or the way in which this outcome was handled. You may review your previous outcome and determine that:
- there may be new relevant information not already provided (medical certificates, support letters etc); and/or
- that the relevant factors that were originally presented were not considered; and/or
- perhaps procedural error could have occurred in the handling of your grievance/ application for Review of Final Grade.
Please note, it will not be sufficient to assert circumstances, performance, or changes to circumstance without some evidence to substantiate or support your claims.
