Memorandum
To: ?
Senate ?
From: Nick Heath, Secretary
Senate Appeals Board
Subject: Senate Appeals Board
?
Date: August 7, 1998
Annual Report for 1997
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.
The Senate Appeals Board met eleven times in 1997 reviewing a total of 19 appeal cases, 1
of which was not resolved by the end of the year. In years previous to 1996, the high volume
of cases made a detailed report impractical and a simple statistical summary was offered
instead. (Since 1996 the Faculties have dealt with requests of retroactive withdrawal.)
When the 1996 report was presented to Senate for 1997, more detail was requested, hence
the current format. There were 16 appeal cases rev iewed in 1996.

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 1997:
