Dear Exeter College, Oxford,
Request
Please provide the following information:
1.
For each year from 2010 to 2019, how many appeals and complaints (Stage 1 of
appeal process) relating to undergraduate admission did the college receive?
2.
For each of these years, how many of these appeals and complaints were
upheld at Stage 1 and resulted in an applicant receiving an offer? (ie a student appealed
a rejection for an undergraduate course and subsequently received an offer from the
college without the need to progress to Stage 2 of the appeal process)
Please list appeals and complaints separately.
Thank you for your assistance.
Dr. Mike Whittome

Dear Mr Whittome
The present appeals process was introduced in 2017. For that period, the figures are as follows:
Academic Year
2017/18
2018/19
2019/20 to date
Number of appeals
2
0
0
Number of complaints
0
0
0
Number of offers made to students who

0
0
appealed
Number of offers made to students who
0
0
0
made a complaint
For the period before 2017, the information is only contained in personal correspondence, and we
estimate that to search this would cost us more than £450 to do so. We are therefore claiming an
exemption under section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act.
Yours sincerely
