For those appeals, refer to the Appeals Process for Assignment of Grades in the Student Appeals Policy in the AU Calendar.

If you experience barriers to your learning due to a long-term medical condition(s), disability-related circumstances, or other ongoing health-related barriers (more than 6 months), we strongly encourage you to speak and register with Accessibility Services as you may be eligible for accommodations.
Please also be aware that the presence of a long-term condition may not support a requested exception to policy and does not guarantee approval. Your appeal will still require documentation indicating exceptional circumstances (e.g., an increase in symptoms) have impacted your studies.
By answering "Yes" to the above question, you are indicating that you are registered with the Athabasca University Accessibility Services office and your appeal is related to an ongoing condition. By selecting "Yes" your appeal will be directed to Accessibility Services for review. Please see https://www.athabascau.ca/support-services/accessibility-services/ for more information regarding the services this office may provide.

Upload Documents
To complete an appeal, supporting documentation is required and must be related to the reason for appeal (e.g., medical document, death certificate, insurance documents, etc.). Go here to see a checklist of acceptable documents.

If documentation is not provided at the time of appeal, this may cause delays in receiving an appeal resolution, and may limit the resolutions available to you or result in the denial of your request. Obtaining the appropriate documentation in a timely manner is the student's responsibility.
Note: Attached files can not be bigger than 3 MB, and the total of all attached files can not exceed 10 MB.
 
If you are unable to upload your documentation, please send this in an email with your name, AUID number, and short summary of your request to regappeal@athabascau.ca. Please only contact this email if you are submitting supporting documentation for your appeal.
Submission of an appeal and documentation does not guarantee your request will be granted. All appeals are considered on a case-by-case basis. You can expect an email response to your appeal within 10 to 15 business days.
For further information on Athabasca University Policies and Procedures, please refer to the AU Undergraduate Calendar and Policy Manual. Please refer to Student Code of Conduct and Right to Appeals Regulations in the Undergraduate Calendar for further details on the appeals procedure.
