Under Section 2.1.1(a) of the University of Sydney (Student Academic Appeals) Rule 2021 requests for resolution must be initiated within 15 working days of the release of the assessment mark. The exception is in the case of a final exam where the 15 working days starts from the release of the result or the opportunity to see the exam (whichever occurs later). Requests lodged outside of this timeframe may not be considered although, in extenuating circumstances where it can be demonstrated it was impossible to comply with the deadline, the relevant Associate Dean may use their discretion to accept a late appeal.
Requests for resolutions are lodged online, therefore students do not need to be present in the country to submit a request. Being overseas does not constitute a valid reason for late submission.
If you wish to submit a late appeal, please contact business.academicappeals@sydney.edu.au, outlining the circumstances of your late submission – that is, why you were unable to submit your appeal within the required time frame.
