SUBJECT

PROCEDURE

Appeals related to an academic integrity sanction imposed by the Academic Integrity Officer will commence at Stage 3 of the Academic Appeals Procedure. Students must complete Appendix A: Stage two (2) documentation as the rationale for the appeal.

STAGE 1:

  • The Student must arrange for an informal consultation with the Faculty Member within five (5) business days of receiving a grade within a course, or within twenty (20) business days of receiving the transcript for a final grade.
  • Any decision resulting in a change of grade must be accompanied by a Record of Amendment, which will be forwarded to Student Services.

If the consultation does not resolve the disagreement, continue to STAGE 2, and complete the Academic Student Appeal Form (Appendix A).

STAGE 2:

  • The Student must have a consultation with the Program Coordinator and may choose to consult an Advisor (or designate) within five (5) business days of the unsatisfactory resolution of Stage 1 to review the grounds for an appeal and supporting evidence. In cases where the Program Coordinator is also the involved Faculty Member, the Dean or designate will substitute for the Program Coordinator for all Stage 2 functions.
  • The Program Coordinator must consult with the Faculty Member to notify them that the appeal has continued to Stage 2 in order to obtain any relevant information and evidence from the Faculty Member. This consultation may occur before or after the consultation with the Student, but it must occur prior to the decision regarding the Student’s appeal.
  • Upon review of the evidence, the Program Coordinator or designate will provide a decision regarding a Student’s appeal. The decision regarding a Student appeal must be rendered in accordance with the four (4) specific grounds for appeal and examples of supporting evidence outlined in Academic Policy #A-5.
