203.14 Appeals and Grievances

    Student grievances of an academic nature sometimes arise. Students in the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research are advised first to approach the instructor or supervisor concerned; in most cases, the issue can be resolved at this level. If the matter is not resolved, students are advised to see the department chair. Departments are encouraged to have internal appeal procedures. Where these exist, they should be followed before moving the matter to the Faculty level. The Dean or Associate Dean may be approached by students for advice in these matters.

    The Academic Appeals Committee of the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research hears and determines appeals from appellants of decisions of the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research which affect academic standing.

    The Committee shall have no jurisdiction to hear an appeal with respect to:

(1)

The academic judgements inherent in marks or grades awarded in individual courses;

(2)

The examination decisions of Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research;

(3)

Decisions to refuse admission or readmission to the Faculty;

(4)

Decisions relating to the granting of credit for courses taken or to be taken outside the University of Alberta.

    For further information regarding appeals procedures at the Faculty level, students should consult the appeal regulations available from the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research. All formal appeals of a decision of the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research must be initiated within 15 working days of the student's receipt of the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research decision.

    Grade grievances initiated by graduate students are not within the jurisdiction of the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, but rather within the jurisdiction of the Faculty from which the graduate student had taken the course in question.

    Additional information on appeals and grievances found in §23.8 of the University Calendar.
