Academic Review Sub-Committee Procedures

A request for Academic Consideration should be made by the student to the Academic Review Sub-Committee during, or immediately after, the semester to which it refers. If a student is appealing a required to withdraw decision, the student should submit the Request for Academic Consideration form before the first official day of class of the next semester.

The Academic Review Sub-Committee will consider requests for academic consideration with regard to:

• Course results (e.g. late drop of a course(s) with or without failure, deferred or supplemental privileges, credit status).

• Meeting the continuation of studies requirements (e.g. probationary status).

• Meeting the graduation requirements.

All requests are to be made in writing, on the Request for Academic Consideration form available from Registrarial Services office (GH108), or from the student’s Program Advisor. Request forms must be accompanied by relevant supporting documentation. Requests that are inadequately documented or that lack clarity will not be dealt with but will be returned to the student. The student should meet with their Program Advisor for advice on the preparation and submission of requests for academic consideration.

When the form is complete, the student should retain a copy along with copies of all documentation submitted. The form, with the original documentation attached, should be submitted to the student's Program Advisor.

The Manager, Registrarial Services or designate, shall prepare the agenda for each meeting of the Academic Review Sub-Committee, maintain a record of the sub-committee's decisions and the Program Advisor’s should immediately inform each student in writing as to the disposition of the request.

An appeal of an Academic Review Sub-Committee's decision may be submitted to the Vice-Provost within 90 days of the decision. Students who are appealing the decision of an Academic Review Sub-Committee for denial of probationary status will not be allowed to attend classes pending the outcome of the petition.
