Appeals
Please refer to the new Undergraduate Student Academic Appeals policy on the Academic Calendar.
Student appeals generally fall into one of the following:
Category 1: Requests for relief relating to a specific course (e.g., with respect to a mark, grade, appropriateness of assignments or examinations, or grading practices).
Category 2: Requests for exemption from a Senate academic regulation (e.g., progression requirements, program eligibility, graduation requirements).
Category 3: Appeals against a decision by the Academic Advising unit or Dean’s Office of the student’s Home Faculty (e.g., regarding academic considerations or academic regulations).
Category 4: Appeal of the finding of a scholastic offence or relief from a penalty resulting from a scholastic offence.
In general, Category 1 includes appeals intrinsic to a specific course, while all other categories involve appeals related to a particular student and difficulties they may have encountered.
The category of appeal determines the route followed. As a general principle, an appeal may only proceed via one pathway. Students who are unsure about the appropriate path for their requests should consult their Associate Dean.
Students in Year 3 or Year 4 of the Medical Sciences/Neuroscience programs should contact Dr. Walter Rushlow (wrushlow@uwo.ca).
All other students in the Faculty of Science should contact Dr. Ken Yeung (aadasci@uwo.ca).
