What is an appeal?
An appeals is a request to the university to reconsider an initial denial of a petition.
For more information, see UTM's Office of the Registrar breakdown of the academic appeals process for UTM students.
Step 1: Escalate an appeal to UTM's Office of the Registrar
The first step of the appeals process is escalating to UTM's Committee on Standing (COS). Select "Appeal Submission" under the "Petitions" category in AskRegistrar within 90 days of the original petition decision.
Step 2: Escalate an appeal to UTM's Office of the Vice-Principal Academic & Dean
If that appeal is denied by the COS, UTM students may choose to escalate their appeal further to the Academic Appeals Subcommittee (AAS) within 90 days of COS's decision.
Any questions about this step can be sent to academicappeals.utm@utoronto.ca.
Step 3: Escalating an appeal to University of Toronto Governing Council
If that appeal is denied by Academic Appeals Subcommittee, UTM students may then choose to escalate a final time to the Academic Appeals Committee by submitting a notice of appeal form within 90s days of AAS's decision.
