Dean of Students

The Dean of Students, in conjunction with Student Services is responsible for student equity on campus and seeks to facilitate access to the University for students who are traditionally under-represented in higher education. The University aims to promote equal opportunity and appropriate support for disadvantaged students.

The Dean of Students is the students' ombudsman. If you have an academic grievance and you have completed Stage 1 and Stage 2 of the grievance procedures as outlined in the Student Academic Grievance Policy, i.e.

  • Stage 1: informal Resolution— You have approached the person(s) directly involved to discuss the matter; and
  • Stage 2: Formal Resolution by Faculty—you have lodged a formal grievance application, in writing, to a person (or committee) specified by the Faculty (e.g. Head of School, Program Administrator, Sub-Dean, Associate Dean, Dean)
AND the matter remains unresolved— you may refer the matter, in writing, to the Dean of Students within fourteen (14) days of receiving a response from the last person involved at Stage 2 of the process. For a detailed explanation of student grievance procedures click here.
