What is an Appeal?

An appeal is a request for a decision to be reviewed and changed. When an appeal is submitted, the reasons (or grounds) for the appeal, the decision being appealed, and the process used to make that decision, are examined. For decisions that are appealable under the Student Misconduct and Academic Appeals Policy, students have ten (10) business days to submit an appeal.

Deadline Extension Requests

Please note that deadline extensions can only be requested before your appeal deadline. Extensions can be requested by emailing appeals@ucalgary.ca.

What to include in your extension request:

  • A copy of the decision you plan to appeal 
  • The reason an extension is required
  • How long of an extension you require

All reasonable requests will be accommodated.
