Appeals & Discipline

The University Secretariat manages and administers academic and non-academic appeals for the University and its Affiliated University Colleges. 

The University has established two internal tribunals to review the appeals filed with the Secretariat. The Senate Review Board Academic (SRBA) is the University’s highest level internal tribunal for academic appeals and appeals related to scholastic offences.

The Board of Governors’ University Discipline Appeal Committee (UDAC) is the University’s highest-level internal tribunal for appeals related to Code of Student Conduct violations.

Additionally, the University Secretariat administers appeals under the Policy on Gender-Based and Sexual Violence, which are reviewed by an Adjudicator.

Application Forms

Appeals must be made on an Application for Hearing or Appeal Application (Application) form, depending on the type of appeal. Each form explains the information that is required for a complete Application. Please carefully follow the instructions listed on the forms. The Secretariat will not accept incomplete Applications.

Applications can be found under the appropriate appeal webpage. Please submit your complete Application by email to secretariat-appeals@uwo.ca.

Oral Hearings

All oral hearings are held electronically (via Zoom). Appeal materials are not posted anywhere on the Zoom platform.
