The summer 2021 exam series could not take place because of the COVID-19 pandemic. As many students as possible will now receive qualifications based on Teacher Assessed Grades, which are based on the content they have been taught.
Below sets out the exceptional appeals processes for results issued in summer 2021 in line with the JCQ and relevant awarding organisations.
The appeals process for summer 2021 allows students to appeal their grades where they believe there has been an error. Students can discuss any concerns in the first instance with the teachers but if they have evidence that there has been an error they can request the College to review whether an administrative or procedural error has been made.
Where the College does not believe that an error has been made but a student believes that an error persists, a student may ask the College to submit an appeal to the relevant awarding organisation on their behalf. The College will submit the student’s appeal if requested and must provide the required full supporting evidence.

The appeals process for these qualifications mirrors the JCQ process and Nottingham College’s Appeal process for this year. However, there are some differences based on the different ways these qualifications are assessed and how the Teacher Assessed Grade process has been applied.
The timelines for appeals will be in line with the none-priority appeals in section 5.
Teacher Assessed Grades for these qualifications are at component level and some of the components are not graded.
For these reasons, appeals must be made a component level, however, an appeal can be submitted for multiple components using the student appeals form.
