Appeared to get marks in university qualification overturned (7)
I believe the answer is:
emerged
'appeared' is the definition.
(emerging is a kind of appearing)
'marks in university qualification overturned' is the wordplay.
'marks' becomes 'm' (former German currency).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'university qualification' becomes 'degree' (I've seen this before).
'overturned' is a reversal indicator.
'm' put into 'degree' is 'degreme'.
'degreme' written backwards gives 'EMERGED'.
'to get' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for emerged that I've seen before include "Deem Reg to have come out" , "Came forth" , "Transpired" , "Emanated" , "Came out, became known" .)
