when will i get a decision?
You and the Division can generally expect to receive a decision within four to six weeks after the hearing. However, it can take longer depending on the case, for example, if you have filed multiple appeals that are heard by the same panel.
Once the Panel has signed the decision, the ADFG Office will release the decision to you and the Division and will post it online to the ADFG website. The decision is posted on the ADFG website because academic appeal decisions are public. It will not contain your name. The case and the decision will then be reported to the Academic Board. The case will also be summarized in the case summaries section of the ADFG website.
What happens to the decision?
The following bodies/people will receive either a copy of or a summary of the decision:
The Student
The Student will receive the Decision once the Panel has signed it.
The ADFG Office/ADFG Website
Academic Appeals Committee decisions are generally published to the ADFG website with the Student's name withheld. Full decisions from 1973 to 1999 are here, and from 2000 to the present are here. Summaries are posted here.
Provost
The Provost's Office will receive notification of the Decision at the same time as the Student.
Division
The Division will also be notified of the Decision, and it will make note of any remedies ordered by the panel on the Student's transcript and academic record, such as changes to course marks, etc. Remedies imposed on the Student by the Academic Appeals Committee may also be published on the Repository of Student Information (ROSI).
Academic Board
Academic Appeals Committee decisions are reported semi-annually to the Academic Board, a sub-committee of the Governing Council.
what can i do if i don't agree with the decision?
The decision of the Academic Appeals Committee is final. An appeal to the AAC is the last internal avenue at the University, as governed in the Terms of Reference for the AAC.
All of your University appeal routes related to the academic appeals process and policy have been exhausted.
The Senior Chair has made the following practice direction on reconsiderations:
The Academic Appeals Committee’s Terms of Reference provide that its decisions “shall be final.” Accordingly, requests for reconsideration of its decisions will not be accepted.
