In addition to all of our student supports, we also have a number of policies that govern our conduct at MSVU.
Academic Accommodations for Students with Disabilities
MSVU is committed to giving students with disabilities equal opportunities for academic success and personal development at university. The University supports academically qualified students with disabilities in their efforts to participate as fully as possible in university programs by providing services and reasonable academic accommodations.
If you have any questions about the Policy on Academic Accommodations for Students with Disabilities, please contact Accessibility Services at accessibilityservices@msvu.ca
The Academic Appeals Procedures are in place to ensure that student appeals are dealt with in an equitable and orderly manner. The three types of appeals covered under these procedures are grade appeals concerned with the fair evaluation of student work and are conducted at the departmental level, appeals concerned with the mistaken application of University regulations and appeals against penalties imposed for academic offenses.
If you have any questions about the Academic Appeal Procedures, please contact Stephanie Hale, Registrar at Stephanie.Hale@msvu.ca.
The Course Outline Policy details that every course delivered by the Mount must have a detailed course outline. This policy clearly states the type of information that must be included in a course outline including the following:
- A description of the course
- Instructor’s contact details
- Methods of evaluation and;
- Key statements relating to student and instructor rights and responsibilities
If you have questions about the Course Outline Policy, please contact a Course Instructor, Chair of a Department or the Dean of a Faculty.
