Answer
If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of your appeal once the University’s internal procedures have been concluded you may be able to apply for a review of your case to the Office of the Independent Adjudicator for Higher Education (OIA), providing that the complaint you take to the OIA is eligible under its rules.
The OIA’s leaflet, 'An Introduction to the OIA for Students', can be downloaded from http://www.oiahe.org.uk/media/34396/oia_intro_leaflet.pdf.
Alternatively, you can write to, telephone or email the OIA for a form:
