Committee Summary
The Committee is the University’s final avenue of appeal for all matters related to their academic standing (ranging from a grade in a course to continuation/discontinuation in a program) and student discipline. Its workload depends on the number of student appeals filed in any given year and thus is highly variable. While the Committee meets in camera, it does provide annual reports to Senate on how it ruled on matters and any trends in noted.
Senators should consider this committee if they have a keen interest in procedural fairness and the equitable treatment of students and decision makers across the University.
