On 6 November 2006 Senate approved the University of Sydney (Student Appeals against Academic Decisions) Rule 2006, which took effect on 28 November 2006.
Under this Rule, a student may appeal to the Student Appeals Body against an academic decision.
An academic decision is a decision by the University that affects the academic assessment or progress of a Student within his or her Award Course, including a decision:
- to exclude a Student in accordance with the University of Sydney (Coursework) Rule 2000 (as amended);
- not to readmit or re-enrol a Student following exclusion in accordance with the University of Sydney (Coursework) Rule 2000 (as amended);
- to terminate a Student’s candidature for a post-graduate award.
Any Student may appeal to the Student Appeals Body against an Academic Decision on the ground that due academic process has not been observed by the relevant Faculty in relation to the Academic Decision.
