‘I enquired with several firms about a case of self plagiarism. RT Coopers Solicitors was quick to respond and straight away we were able to go through the specifics of my case. Rosanna spent several hours on Zoom with me going through my entire literature review and we complied evidence that I could use in my appeal. Rosanna also prepared a strong statement that I could use in my case. Whilst waiting for my appeal date Rosanna was on hand to answer any questions and always replied promptly. After appealing, I won the case and am set to graduate with a Distinction. This was a huge relief to me as if the original decision had not been overturned I would’ve graduated with a Merit. I can’t thank RT Coopers enough - they helped me tremendously compiling the evidence and statement I needed to win my case. Highly recommend!’ Jenny

Final year biotech student applied for Mitigating Circumstances for a module following a neurodivergent diagnosis. The Mitigating Circumstances application was rejected (decision). This decision meant that the student was likely to be awarded a 2:1 instead of a first class honours degree. RT Coopers drafted an appeal against the decision and prepared fresh Mitigating Circumstances for all past and remaining modules in the final year. The grounds of appeal were Mitigating Circumstances and procedural irregularity. The appeal was upheld. The Mitigating Circumstances application was accepted. Student on track for a first class degree on graduation. First Published in Google Business Profile Reviews

Student studied medical genetics and awarded a lower class of degree than predicted - RT Coopers drafted a Complaint to the OIA as student was unhappy with Degree Classification - Assisted with Complaint - The OIA made recommendations to the University to reconsider Degree Classification - Complaint Justified

‘I contacted Rosanna Cooper to help me with my son's case against his university on his degree classification to the OIA. From the first telephone conversation Rosanna was very helpful and honest about the nature of the case. She was thorough, fair and transparent in providing assistance during the application process to the OIA. She worked over the weekend at short notice to meet the deadline. The OIA realised that important aspects discovered by Rosanna, about my son’s case were ignored during the University’s appeal process. I cannot thank her enough for her expertise and professionalism which ensured a highly satisfactory decision by the OIA in my son’s favour. The OIA has made recommendations to the university to reconsider his degree classification. I write to express my sincere and heartfelt appreciation and gratitude for her highly professional and competent services, provided in both a friendly and accessible manner. I have no reservation in highly recommending Rosanna and the firm RT Coopers and record my heartfelt thanks for your excellent work’ SM (London)
