I got a 67 for my final degree grade. 68 is the threshold to get bumped to a 70 and I meet the criteria to get bumped ! Is there any way I can appeal the grade as a special case to just get rounded up? Will they even bother listening to my request?

"5.48. Module marks shall be rounded up (≥ 0.5) or rounded down (<0.5) to the nearest integer. The final overall degree classification score shall be rounded up (≥ 0.5) or rounded down (<0.5) to the nearest integer before the final classification of the award is made."
Do you know your pre-rounded overall mark? (It would have been ≥ 66.5 but < 67.5.)
They won't listen to any appeal to bump you up just because you're close to the 68% threshold where you'd be eligible to be bumped up anyway (i.e. assuming you gained at least 60 credits at a "first" during your final year). Your only hope is that they've made a mathematical error. Have you calculated your overall mark yourself? Do you agree with their figure of 67%?
