A point of good practice would be for the Board of Examiners to report the latest version of the appeals procedure for students at each meeting of the Board to create awareness of the process and to ensure that the minutes record any discussions and decisions which may be challenged by students.

Where the Board of Examiners is asked (by the Appeals Officer) to reconsider a decision following the submission and investigation of an appeal, the Chair should reconvene the Board as soon as possible to consider the evidence upon which the Appeal Panel has based their decision. If the appeal is related to a University award, the Chair should write to the External Examiner to invite him / her to the reconvened Board or, if attendance is not possible, obtain comments in writing.
