## Disciplinary Appeals

If you have received a Student Disciplinary outcome which you are dissatisfied with, you have the right to appeal. Disciplinary Appeals should be submitted within 14 days of the outcome. There are two grounds for a Disciplinary Appeal – that the procedures were not followed appropriately, and/or that the outcome was not reasonable in light of the available evidence. 

If you think you meet the grounds for an academic appeal, you can use [AskQM](https://askqm.qmul.ac.uk/ "AskQM") to submit your appeal. Log into AskQM, and select 'new enquiry' then choose Appeals and Complaints as the enquiry category followed by 'Disciplinary Appeal' as the subcategory.
