From: Nick Heath, Secretary
Senate Appeals Board
Subject: Senate Appeals Board ?
Date: 2002 04 10
Annual Re

ort for 2001
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 monthly, or when there is sufficient business to warrant a meeting.
The Senate Appeals Board met nine times in 2001 reviewing a total of 14 appeal cases, of
which one was not resolved by the end of the year. This volume is consistent with previous
years.

Senate Appeals Board
Annual Report for 2001
General
Attendance was good and the Board continued to function well in 2001.
Procedure
Each appeal is first screened to determine whether special circumstances are present. All
appeals are first heard in-camera (written form only - Stage 1) and some are resolved at
that stage. If the SAB is unable to give a positive judgment 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 evidence and answer questions (Stage 2). Most hearings
last about 20 - 30 minutes.
