    201704550
  • Date:
    September 2018

    University of Strathclyde

  • Subject:
    academic appeal / exam results / degree classification

Summary

Mr C complained about his university’s handling of a personal circumstances application and academic appeals. Mr C said there had been breaches of university regulations.

We found no evidence of breaches of university regulations. We considered that Mr C disagreed with the academic judgement of staff assessing his work, and he disagreed with the decisions taken by the relevant committees and university staff about his personal circumstances application and academic appeals. However, his disagreement with the university’s interpretation of his evidence and their decisions was not evidence of an administrative failing on their part. We did not uphold Mr C’s complaints.
