<div><strong>Three days before my graduation, King's College London took away my First Class Honours.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I had been preparing to celebrate with my family. After years of hard work, late nights, and personal sacrifice, I was days away from walking across that stage. Then the email arrived and everything changed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My grade had been dropped from 70% to 68%. A First Class to a 2:1. Gone, just like that.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That was nearly two years ago. I still haven't graduated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>My name is Ceana, and I am raising funds to pursue justice for the degree I earned.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This was King's third grading error on my record. The reason given was "peer review" - a system I was never given access to. No link. No visibility. No opportunity to respond.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In May 2024, my First Class Honours had been officially confirmed. For the first time in months, I felt like I could finally rest. The late nights, the sacrifices, all of it had been worth it. And then, without warning, it was taken away.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A grade isn't just a number. It's every early morning, every missed event, every moment I chose my future over everything else.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A year later, King's admitted the peer review system should never have been hidden from my account. And still, my grade was not corrected.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The errors didn't stop there.</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>My Subject Access Request - a legal right to access my own information - took 226 days. The legal limit is 30.</strong>
</li>
<li><strong>My Stage 1 appeal outcome arrived 12 days late.</strong>
</li>
<li><strong>My Stage 2 appeal outcome arrived 112 days late.</strong>
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I did everything I was asked to do. I was calm, patient, and professional. And at every turn, I was met with more waiting, more errors, and more closed doors.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I took my case to the Office of the Independent Adjudicator. My case was marked "not justified" - even though the OIA was unable to fully consider all the elements of my complaint.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At this point, I can't help but question whether I am being treated differently. I wonder: if I came from a different background, would I still be standing up for myself this hard for something as basic as fairness?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>This degree represents years of hard work, sacrifice, and a belief that my efforts would be recognised.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am a Black woman and a first-generation university student. No one in my family had been to university before me. I had no blueprint, no safety net - just the belief that if I worked hard enough, it would be enough.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Fewer than 4% of Black students attend Russell Group universities. I fought to be in that number. I earned a First Class degree. And now I am being asked to accept a result I did not earn, simply because the institution that made the errors has more time and resources than I do.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>This is my final chance.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have until <strong>13 June 2026</strong> - just under two months - to seek justice through a Judicial Review. After that, my time to seek justice runs out.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To move forward, I need:
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>£2,500 upfront</strong> for a lawyer to assess my case and issue a pre-action letter
</li>
<li><strong>£15,000-£25,000 in potential court costs</strong>, should King's refuse to resolve this at the pre-action stage
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This journey has been exhausting - emotionally, mentally, and now financially. After nearly two years, the final hurdle isn't the strength of my case. It's money.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So many students face this. Cases go unheard not because they lack merit, but because the people pursuing them run out of resources before they reach the finish line. I don't want my story to end that way.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are able to donate, I would be so grateful. You would be giving me the chance to see this through after everything it has taken to get here.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even if you're not in a position to donate, sharing this page could make all the difference.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>I have spent nearly two years being told to wait, to appeal, to try another route. This is the last route. Please join me on this final step - so I no longer have to walk it alone.</strong>
</div>
