Following the outcome of a Level 1 - Academic Appeal, and having been unable to satisfy concerns through those means, the Level 2 – Formal Academic Appeal is available to students who wish to have their appeal reviewed further by a formal Academic Appeal panel hearing.

The student may request a Level 2 – Formal Academic Appeal within five working days of receipt of their Level 1 outcome, and only if they can demonstrate the outcome of their Level 1 academic appeal review and decision of the Academic Manager did not align with Academic Appeals Policy.

Students who proceed to Level 2 Academic Appeal, as outlined in the Academic Appeals Policy, must complete the details in the web form below.

You are responsible for identifying the specific grounds for the appeal. Please note, submissions without grounds included will not move forward, and that disagreement with an academic decision does not meet the requirements for grounds as outlined in the Academic Appeals Policy.

If grounds are met, your request for a Level 2 appeal and the information from this form will be sent to the Academic Manager, Faculty member and the Academic Appeals Committee.

You will also receive a confirmation copy to your Mohawk email account for reference.
