9. Time Limits for Appeals

The time limits contained in this policy are mandatory and must be adhered to. Failure by a student to submit an appeal within the limits set out herein shall result in the student forfeiting the right to appeal, subject only to the sole discretion of the Registrar, or designate, who may extend the time limit for processing an appeal of a student where such extension is considered appropriate under the circumstances.

Failure to initiate a complaint within the time permitted in this policy, or failure on the part of the University to process a complaint within the above stated limits, shall not necessarily invalidate the complaint or the proceedings under this policy. The Registrar, or designate, may provide for extensions of time limits whenever considered appropriate, and upon any condition deemed necessary for granting of the extension.
