Probation: the period of probation will be determined by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies or the Senate Committee on Academic Appeals. The impact of being placed on probation is that the commission of any further academic offence during the period of probation may lead to suspension or expulsion.

Suspension: will apply to a course, department, faculty, school, or the University. The period of suspension will be determined by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies or the Senate Committee on Academic Appeals and shall not exceed six consecutive semesters.

Expulsion: the recommendation for expulsion from the University will be made by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies or the Senate Committee on Academic Appeals to the President of the University for a final decision. Prior to the President’s decision, the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies or the Senate Committee on Academic Appeals will notify the accused, in writing or by email, of the recommendation for expulsion from the University. The accused will be allowed a period of two weeks following the date of release of such notification to lodge an appeal before the President’s final decision concerning expulsion from the University. If the penalty was assigned by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies, any such appeal should be made in writing or by email to the Senate Committee on Academic Appeals, c/o the Office of the Registrar. If the penalty was assigned by the Senate Committee on Academic Appeals, any such appeal should be made in writing or by email to the Executive Committee of Senate, c/o the Office of the Registrar.

Rescinding of degree: the recommendation for the rescinding of a degree previously awarded by the University will be made by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies or the Senate Committee on Academic Appeals to Senate for a final decision. Prior to Senate’s decision the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies or the Senate Committee on Academic Appeals will notify the accused, in writing, of the recommendation for rescinding of the degree. The accused will be allowed a period of two weeks following the date of release of such notification to lodge an appeal before the Senate’s final decision concerning the rescinding of the degree. If the penalty was assigned by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies, any such appeal should be made in writing or by email to the Senate Committee on Academic Appeals, c/o the Office of the Registrar. If the penalty was assigned by the Senate Committee on Academic Appeals, any such appeal should be made in writing to the Executive Committee of Senate, c/o the Office of the Registrar.
