Time limits for submitting appeals under this process are mandatory and must be adhered to. Failure by a student/applicant to submit an appeal within the time limits set out herein shall normally result in the student/applicant forfeiting the right to appeal.

The Registrar (or the Student Academic Appeals Committee, the Program Director or the department head, or designate) may, in his/her (or their) sole discretion, extend the time limit for the processing of an appeal of a student/applicant where he/she (or they) consider(s) an extension appropriate under the circumstances.
