Academic Concessions cases

posted by Mitchell Gale on March 30, 2022, 2:09 p.m.

Hi All,

This is a reminder to students who make academic concessions to make them when they require assistance. I was told by an instructor that there was a sharp increase in academic concession requests recently compared to other semesters, some of which were reasonable and regular academic concessions, but with others trying to "game the system". If you have agenuine case for academic concession, please continue to make them, if not please reconsider.

Here is an SFU resource on academic concession.


Sincerely,

Mitchell Gale
Computing Science Student Society President

Specifics of this role would be left to the exec team and the individual elected into this position.
