Thompson Rivers University(TRU) recognizes that although most students experience
no concerns regarding their education, some students occasionally experience
problems with the interpretations of TRU policy or procedures by TRU staff. TRU
encourages students and staff to resolve academic issues through discussion. When
resolution is not reached, students may bring forward for formal review, maers that
have not been resolved to their satisfaction. The formal review process concludes
with a decision that is final and binding upon all parties.
TRU recognizes the right of students to appeal:
decisions on final grades (an appeal on a decision on a grade other than a final
grade requires consent of the relevant Dean);
decisions on the application of Senate policies, procedures and regulations as they
relate to student academic performance; and
Perceived unethical conduct by TRU staff or other students.
