Regulation type
Appeals of academic decisions not included in the Policy on Academic Integrity and Misconduct or subject to the Grade Appeals Process, may be presented to successive levels of decision-making within the Faculty up to the Dean. Decisions of the Dean may be appealed to the Vice President Academic and Provost. The Vice President Academic may, at his/her discretion, refer any matter to a Review Committee. When convened, the Review Committee shall be comprised of members appointed by the Vice President Academic, and shall determine its own procedure having regard to its duty to act fairly toward the student. The University reserves the right in its discretion to modify the process as it determines may be appropriate in any particular instance.
Appeals to the Vice President Academic must be made in writing by the student within 30 (calendar) days of the Dean's decision.
Should the student wish to bring a witness(es) or advisor(s) to the meeting with the Vice President Academic or to the Review Committee meeting he/she must be informed at least 48 hours in advance. The deliberations of the Vice President Academic as well as the Review Committee are in closed session and those appearing before the Vice President Academic or review committee should consider their participation to be confidential.
