Other Appeals
On appeals other than those for a change of grade (Example: Submissions for LOP and transfer credit), the procedures shall be as follows:
1. Normally within one month of the event or the decision being received by the student, the student shall first consult the office concerned and, if unsatisfied, should then consult the Associate Dean of the appropriate Faculty. If informal resolution is not possible and the student wishes to pursue formal appeal, the student shall submit the appeal form and supporting documentation to the Committee on Academic Appeals through the University Secretariat.
2. The Administrator shall forward a copy of the appeal to the Dean of the appropriate Faculty, and, if relevant, to the Chairperson of the Department and the instructor.
3. On 5 May 1993, the Academic Senate of the University passed an Enabling Motion which reads in part “...that the Executive Committee of Senate [be] empowered to deal with all appeals concerning graduation which may be made prior to Convocation.” Procedurally, these appeals are made to the Registrar.
4. The decision of the Committee shall be final.
Reference , General Procedures: Students may not normally submit a Non-Grade Appeal to withdraw from the course in which there is an Academic Integrity charge against them.
Decision
If possible, within one month of receiving any appeal, the Committee shall render and communicate its decision through the University Secretariat to all parties concerned. In cases where an appeal is upheld and/or changing of the grade is required, the Registrar's office will make the change of grade in accordance with the decision of the Academic Appeals Committee.
