Regulation A-10 – Appeal of Decision – ͼ
For all academic matters, a student may appeal a decision to the Interpretation of Academic Regulations Committee (IARC). However, the student must have exhausted all internal remedies prior to proceeding with an appeal.
A student who wishes to contest a decision must do so within ten business days by lodging his appeal in writing to the IARC president, position held by the secretary general of the University. The appeal request must include:
- a detailed letter explaining the situation, his or her motives for the appeal i.e. the reasons why the decision should be overturned or modified as well as the desired outcome;
- a list of all internal parties or individuals that were consulted; professor, program director or dean or the staff with whom he or she met at the Registrar Services;
- all other pertinent documents;
- student’s contact information (student number, postal address, telephone number, e-mail address) in order to be able to contact him or her.
As soon as the appeal is received, a copy of all the documentation provided is sent to the faculty concerned. The faculty must provide its comments within fifteen working days.
Once the faculty’s comments have been received, they are sent to the student who must respond within fifteen working days, after which the IARC will proceed with the appeal.
The president will then convene the IARC. The student will then be invited to present his appeal and answer questions before the IARC.
In general, the IARC renders its decision within the same day of the hearing. However, sometimes the committee may request additional information in order to make its decision.
The decision is communicated the following week via e-mail.
IARC decisions are final and without appeal.
The IARC is a committee of the Senate.
