Academic Appeals
Graduate students may appeal an academic matter (e.g., mark in a course, comprehensive exam result). As indicated on the School of Graduate Studies website, the first step in the appeal process is to attempt to resolve the matter with the instructor or other person whose ruling is in question. Should the matter not be resolved with the instructor, and should the student wish to pursue the matter, the student must discuss the matter with the Graduate Associate Chair (Prof. Fedor Dokshin: socgrad.assochair@utoronto.ca). Should the matter remain unresolved, the student would provide a formal written appeal, which would go to the Graduate Department Academic Appeals Committee (GDAAC).
More details about the jurisdiction, composition, and procedures of the GDDAC can be found on the SGS website.
