Date: March 16, 2000
Annual Report for 1999
The Board considers cases wherein a student or former student feels aggrieved by the

courses, withdrawal from the University, eligibility for graduation, approval to a program
or matter relating to academic standing, when special circumstances are present.
The Senate Appeals Board met eight times in 1999 reviewing a total of 18 appeal cases, of
which 2 were not resolved by the end of the year. There were 16 appeal cases reviewed in
1998; 19 appeal cases in 1997; and 16 appeal cases in 1996.

Senate Appeal Board
Annual Report for 1999
Page 2
General
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). Each hearing
lasts about 20 - 30 minutes.
This process resulted in the following action in 1999:
