The University of Regina endeavours to create and maintain a learning environment characterized by equitable conditions for all students. In order to further that goal and to ensure the continuing integrity of academic standards, it is expected that an instructor who has a close personal relationship with a student wishing to enroll in his/her course will, in consultation with his/her Department Head and/or Dean (or designate), make appropriate alternative arrangements for the evaluation of the student. If no appropriate alternative arrangement for evaluation can be agreed upon, the student may not enroll in the course.

Without limiting the generality of the relationships in question; these include the following:

a) where the instructor is the parent (or child) of the student

b) where the instructor is the spouse or spousal equivalent of the student

c) where the instructor is in a close personal relationship with the student.

Should a relationship such as the one described in (b) or (c) above arise during the course and before completion of evaluation of the student, the instructor shall consult with the Department Head and/or Dean (or designate) as to an appropriate evaluation procedure.
