5.14 APPEALS AND PETITIONS

5.14.1 COUNCIL DISCIPLINE COMMITTEE

Students may appeal the imposition or severity of a penalty for misconduct (academic or non-academic) to the Council Discipline Committee. Requests for a hearing must be submitted, in writing and within 30 days of the date of imposition of the penalty, to:

The University Secretary
University of Regina AH 509.1
Regina SK S4S 0A2
Tel: 306-585-4436; fax: 306-585-5255

Students who have been expelled for misconduct may submit an application for readmission and letter of petition to the Council Discipline Committee.  If their petition is approved by the Committee, students must still meet the academic requirements for admission, readmission, or transfer to their chosen faculty. If the petition is denied by this Committee, the decision is deemed final and a new time period may be allotted before the student can petition again to return. The judgement of the Committee and the reasons for the judgement are rendered in writing to the appellant and the University Registrar for action relative to the student record.

At the discretion of the Registrar, an applicant who has been dismissed for disciplinary reasons from another post-secondary institution may be required to petition to the Council Discipline Committee and receive permission to apply for admission or renewal before being considered on academic grounds.  If the applicant is admitted, the previous dismissal may be considered in any future proceedings for misconduct.

The Committee reports annually to Executive of Council.
