At the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies, the petitions process is confidential. Information and documentation submitted in relation to a petition is restricted to office staff and Committee members involved in the decision-making process.
Petitions and appeals are considered anonymously. Where a petition includes allegations about the actions or advice of an employee or office of the University, the employee or a representative of the office in question may be given a copy of the petition letter and an opportunity to respond to the allegations. In such cases, the student is presumed to have waived the right to confidentiality (and anonymity) as concerns those individuals.
Students may request, by appointment, to review the information in their file.
Guidelines (PDF) for the Consideration of Petitions/Appeals by Faculty Committees can be found on the Senate Appeals Committee Website.
