URGENT- expelled academic misconduct appeal

Doubtful tbh, if it's been serious enough to warrant expulsion they might not care how it happened or feel a second chance is appropriate :/
Am I right in thinking this appeal is to explain WHY you committed misconduct, rather than denying the actual accusation?

I've seen an appeal like this succeed, yes. In fact I had three students from the same (large) cohort who faced similar circumstances and all three returned to see out their degree.
So it's not hopeless.
The fact you have actually medical evidence from a specislist is the biggest boon, and I think that if the only hangup to this was late MCs which, had they been submitted on time, would otherwise have been accepted, then I'd be quietly hopeful.
Second offence complicates things slightly, but I'd not be overly concerned about that.
We can never be sure with these things, but, all things being equal, you have as good of a chance as it is possible to have.

Thank you so much for your answer!! I’ve sent you a DM could you please check it. Thanks

Sorry, after unsavoury encounters with other users, I do not reply to DMs. Better to air everything where it can be seen.

Oh okay no problem, I was just going to ask that the 2 academic misconduct were ok the same period… idk if that is going to affect the appeal, my uni is in Russel group so I’m afraid they gonna be stricter

If they were in the same session then it might actually add weight to your mitigation claim: two in succession, out of character, because of x y and z reason, that sort of thing.
For what it's worth, I've worked in RG institutions for more than ten years and in my experience, there's little difference between institutions in how 'strictly' policies are applied. You really need to be scraping the barrel at the poorest places before you see any real difference, so I'd not get too hung up on that side of things.
It's hard because you're in a sort of limbo, but I really think you're in as good a position as it is possible to be in at this stage. The nature of these claims and appeals are somewhat unpredictable so I don't want to give you false hope. But I have seen comparable circunstances pan out, as recently as last year.

Thank you so so much for your reply!! I’m really thinking about the appeal so so much and stressing about the outcome… I’m so nervous and feel that I’ve worked on myself these couple months so much academically and mentally… I’ve improved and grown and I’m in a better place… I’ve write these in my appeal and I’m really hoping that it will succeed :/

Quick update the appeal WORKED!!! BUT they gave me a condition to redo the WHOLE year with everything capped at 40, should I take it to the OIA or accept the offer ??

Personally I'd take the win here. Very unlikely the OIA will force a better result and all considered, this is actually a good result without the misconduct etc, so in the light of that, fantastic result. Well done!

Thank you !! The conditions were super harsh tho everything capped at 40 and if I fail any module I can’t resit I’ll be directly expelled do u think it’s worth taking it to the OIA, accepting it or transferring to another uni ?
