J. Student Appeals to the University Appeals Committee and University Appeals Tribunal
In June, 2018, the General Faculties Council approved the Student Misconduct and Academic Appeals Policy, Faculty Appeals Policy and Procedure, University Appeals Committee Procedure, and University Appeals Tribunal Procedure. All appeals relating to academic assessments, academic progression matters, and student academic misconduct and student non-academic misconduct, as defined in the Student Misconduct and Academic Appeals Policy, will be managed under this policy effective January 1, 2019.
For process information and resources regarding appeals, please see the Student Appeals Office website at: live-secretariat.ucalgary.ca/secretariat/student-appeals.
Students may obtain information and support with understanding the appeals process and submitting an appeal from the Student Ombuds Office. For more information, visit ucalgary.ca/student-services/ombuds.
J.1 Continued Registration While Under Appeal
A student appealing a suspension or expulsion may register for and attend classes, and participate in academic activities, pending the outcome of their appeal. Any restrictions levied as outlined in section 4.4 of the Student Academic Misconduct Procedures (ucalgary.ca/legal-services/sites/default/files/teams/1/Policies-Student-Academic-Misconduct-Procedure.pdf) will continue pending the outcome of an appeal, unless the relevant faculty determines that it would be appropriate to remove them sooner. This decision is in the sole discretion of the faculty and may not be appealed.
A student appealing an academic assessment or academic progression decision to the University Appeals Committee may register for and attend classes, and participate in academic activities, pending the outcome of their appeal. For specific faculty restrictions please refer to the faculty regulations sections of this Calendar.
Students appealing an academic progression matter to the University Appeals Tribunal are not permitted to remain registered.
If an appeal is unsuccessful the original date of suspension, required to withdraw or expulsion may take effect. If the appeal panel decides that the original date is appropriate for a suspension, required to withdraw or expulsion to take effect, the student will not receive credit for academic activities completed and tuition fees will be credited back to the student’s account. General fees cannot be credited back to the student account.
If the appeal is upheld, the student will remain registered.
