DATE:
Annual Report for 2004
S.05-51
Mike Dinning, Secretary
Senate Appeals Board
March 14, 2005
The Board considers cases wherein a student or former student feels aggrieved by the decision of a
faculty, department or other administrative unit relating to a registration in courses, withdrawal from
the University, eligibility for graduation, approval to a program or matter relating to academic
standing, when special circumstances are present.
SAB meets bi-monthly, or when there is sufficient business to warrant a meeting. The Senate Appeals
Board met five times in 2004 reviewing a total 26 appeal cases.

Procedure:
Each appeal is
first
screened to determine whether special circumstances are present. All appeals are
first heard in-camera (written form only) and some are resolved at that stage. If the SAB is unable to
give a positive judgement at Stage 1, and if the student has requested an in-person hearing, the case is
decided at a hearing at which the student or a representative is able to present further evidence and
answer questions (Stage 2). Most hearings last about 20 - 30 minutes.
Summary of Appeal Decisions:
Appeals Sustained ?
5
Appeals Denied, Stage 1
Appeal Denied, Stage 2 In-Person Hearing
Appeals Cancelled ?
16
Appeals Deferred for More Information
?
5
Total decisions exceed the number of cases because of multiple outcomes for a single case.
The Senate Appeals Board Annual Report 2004 is attached.
