Changes to senate student appeals process

The senate recently approved several significant changes to the Senate Committee on Appeals’ terms of reference and procedural guidelines. The changes are intended to strengthen and improve the student appeal process. The time limit for students to file an appeal before the Senate Committee on Appeals will change from six months to two months effective July 1, 2009. Faculty members, staff and students are encouraged to visit the website of the University Secretary at http://web.uvic.ca/univsec/ for full details of the changes.
