General Regulations

Student Responsibility

A student is expected to fulfil the requirements and write the examinations in all courses for which he/she is enrolled after the date shown in the Undergraduate Schedule of Classes and Examinations as the last date to drop courses. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that Student Services has the proper information regarding courses in which the student is enrolled. Except in cases of illness, or for compassionate reasons, failure to write the exam constitutes a course failure. A student may receive credit for only the courses in which he/she is officially enrolled according to Student Service’s records.

Academic Honesty and Student Conduct

Academic Honesty

All members of the University community share responsibility for academic standards and the reputation of the University. Academic honesty is a cornerstone of the development and acquisition of knowledge. Academic honesty is a condition of continued membership in the University community.

Academic dishonesty, like other forms of dishonesty, is misrepresentation with intent to deceive or without regard to the source or the accuracy of statements or findings. Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the University’s values. Further, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University.

The following examples are representative but not exhaustive of activities constituting academic dishonesty: plagiarism (presenting the work of another person as your own); submitting the same work more than once without prior approval; cheating; impersonation (having someone else write your exam); submitting false records or information (forged medical notes); stealing or destroying the work of another student; removing, mutilating, misplacing or destroying books or other library material; unauthorized or inappropriate use of computers, calculators and other forms of technology in course work, assignments or examinations.

The code of academic honesty is contained in policy S10.02 on the Web via .

Penalties for Acts of Academic Dishonesty

Penalties imposed by the University for academic dishonesty may include but are not limited to one or more of the following: a warning, a verbal or written reprimand, reassessment of work, failure on a particular assignment, failure in a course, denial of admission or readmission to the University, de-registration, forfeiture of University awards or financial assistance, suspension or permanent suspension from the University or degree revocation.

Student Conduct

Simon Fraser University is committed to creating a scholarly community characterized by civility, diversity, free inquiry, mutual respect and individual safety. The code of student conduct defines students’ basic responsibilities as academic community members, to define inappropriate student conduct and to provide procedures and penalties to be invoked if they engage in such unacceptable behavior. Each student is responsible for his/her conduct which affects the University community. The code shall not be construed to unreasonably prohibit peaceful assemblies, demonstrations or free speech.

The following are representative but not exhaustive of behaviors constituting misconduct: harm, injure or threaten any person (in person or through electronic means); disruptive or dangerous behavior; behavior which results in damage, destruction and theft of University property or the property of any University member; forgery or alteration of University documents or records; misuse of University resources including information (computing) resources; unauthorized entry or presence in University premises; misuse of student disciplinary procedures.

Procedures for Academic Dishonesty and Student Misconduct

Student Appeals

See “1.16 Graduate Student Appeals” for graduate student appeals. Students may appeal certain University decisions as follows.

Reconsideration of Grades

Failing grades have been checked very carefully and appeals seldom result in higher grades except where a clerical error has occurred. See academic policy T20.01 at

Admission and Readmission

Appeals for admission and readmission may be considered by the committee to review university admissions. Student Services provides appeal forms and advice about submitting an appeal. Download a pdf of the appeal form at

Course Withdrawal

During the sixth to twelfth class week, a course(s) may be dropped only in extenuating circumstances. If approved, a WE notation appears on the academic record for specific courses dropped. Apply to the Academic Appeals Manager, Student Academic Appeals, Enrolment Services. Requests arising after the twelfth week, or requests relating to courses completed in a previous term, are ‘retroactive’ and follow the same procedures but may take longer to adjudicate. Student Services provides appeal forms and advice on submitting an appeal. Download an appeal form at

Extenuating circumstances are defined as unusual circumstances beyond the student’s control which make it impossible to complete the course. If a course drop is being considered after the twelfth week of classes, students should seek advice from Academic Advising or their department advisor.

Term Withdrawals

Students wishing to withdraw from all courses in a term will follow the same schedule as outlined above. See http://students.sfu.ca/ forms for appeal forms and http://students.sfu.ca/deadlines for term dates.

Tuition Fee Appeals for Refund

The enrolment appeals committee hears appeals for tuition fee refunds, penalties for classes dropped, and for late payment due to extenuating circumstances beyond the student’s control. The appeal must be supported with proper documents, i.e. medical and/or (in cases that involve a family death) a death certificate. Financial hardship alone does not qualify.

The student must appeal within one calendar year from the time the class(es) is dropped and charges incurred. If the student is uncertain about health, finances, time or other resources, students are advised to be conservative in committing themselves to classes. Student Services provides appeal forms and advice about submitting an appeal.The appeal form is available at

Appeals of Academic Penalties

Disputes about the findings may be brought to the university board on student discipline (policy T10.03). Appeals on the following three grounds may be brought to the senate committee on disciplinary appeals (also Policy S10.04).

• that there was unfairness in the process at the hearing
• that the penalty imposed was inappropriate
• that new evidence has emerged that was not available at the hearing and which casts doubt on the accuracy of the finding

Entry to Limited Enrolment Program or Faculty

Appeals may be considered by the appropriate chair, director or dean.

Senate Appeals Board

The senate appeals board considers cases in which a student or former student feels aggrieved by the decision of a faculty, department or other administrative unit relating to an enrolment in courses,University withdrawal, graduation eligibility, program approval, or a matter relating to academic standing when special circumstances are present. Appeals must be submitted in writing, giving the grounds for the appeal. Student Services provides appeal forms and advice on submitting an appeal. Obtain the appeal form at

Class Interruption

Simon Fraser University makes reasonable efforts to ensure that classes and courses proceed on a regular basis and without interruption. Faculty have certain discretion to cancel or change the timetable for their classes; they will endeavor to give reasonable notice of any cancellation or change. The University will not be responsible for cancellation or change of any class. Neither will 91泡芙 be responsible for the interruption or termination of any class or course of instruction which results from fire, riot, labor disruption or any other event which occurs despite the University’s efforts, or for failure to give notice of the interruption or termination.
