University Student Appeals Office

In order to ensure an appeal submission is received on time, it is highly recommended to plan for sufficient time to complete and submit the form in advance of the 11:59 pm deadline.

Deadline Extension Requests

Deadline extensions can only be requested prior to the appeal deadline by emailing appeals@ucalgary.ca. The request must include a copy of the decision you are appealing, why an extension is needed and how long an extension you require.  All reasonable requests for extensions will be accommodated. 

What is an appeal?

An appeal is a request for a decision to be reviewed and changed. During an appeal hearing, the reasons (or grounds) for the appeal, the decision being appealed, and the process used to make that decision, are examined.  At the University, if a student does not follow the appeal process set out in the Student Misconduct and Academic Appeals Policy and its procedures, the appeal will be denied.

Role of the University Student Appeals Office

The University Student Appeals Office is a resource for students, faculties and staff regarding student appeals at the University of Calgary.

 The services we provide include:

  • Information about the student appeals process at the University
  • Resource materials for students
  • Training for University decision makers
  • Legal advice to certain University decision makers
