5. Appeals

If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of your progression improvement plan, you may appeal to the Student Academic Administrative Appeals Committee (SAAAC).

You must lodge your appeal within 10 business days from the date you were notified of the decision using the UQ Student Appeals online form.

The SAAAC will either uphold or dismiss your appeal.

If your appeal is dismissed, you can choose to submit a further appeal to the Queensland Ombudsman within 10 days of your notice of decision from SAAAC.

You will maintain provisional enrolment while your appeal is in progress.

Late submission 

If your late submission was not accepted and you are dissatisfied with this administrative decision, you can submit a request to the Academic Registrar via the UQ Student Appeals online form.

Your request must include additional information to support your case, or you can substantiate an argument as to why this decision does not comply with University policy.

It is not sufficient to simply disagree with the decision and want it examined by a more senior staff member.

If you need help preparing your appeal, please contact Student Advocacy and Support.

Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander students can also request assistance from the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies Unit.

You can find additional help and resources at Student Support – my.UQ.

You will be notified of progress via your UQ student email account so please check your email regularly.
