Undergraduate Student Requests for Relief from Academic Decisions
The University has updated its terminology and no longer uses the term "appeal." Instead, all such submissions are now referred to as "Requests for Relief."
Requests for relief generally fall into one of the following categories:
Category 1: Requests for relief relating to a specific course e.g. a grade, appropriateness of an assignment or exam, grading practices and other academic decisions determined by the instructor.
Category 2: Requests for relief in the form of an exemption from a Senate academic regulation (e.g. progression requirements, program eligibility, graduation requirements.
Category 3: Requests for relief against a decision by an Academic Advisor of the student’s Home Faculty. (e.g. academic considerations or regulations).
The category of request for relief determines the route followed. Requests for relief may only proceed via one pathway. Students in doubt as to the appropriate path for request should consult the Associate Dean, Academic.
