ASUS Appeals Resource Centre

The ASUS Appeals Resource Centre (AARC) provides support for students who are in the process of making petitions and appeals, whether with respect to academic matters or academic integrity. It utilizes student volunteers who are knowledgeable in the petition and appeal process and trained by university staff to provide confidential support.

While we cannot advocate for students in the petition and appeal process, we aim to help every student put forward their best case possible. ASUS Appeals Resource Centre volunteers can make regulations more accessible, improve writing clarity, and help students understand the often-complicated petition and appeal process. The service is completely free-of-cost.

Please note that the service is not responsible for the outcome of any cases for which it advises, and provides only guidance to students who are making petitions and appeals. Focus areas for support include writing clarity, interpretation of academic regulations, and structuring argumentation.

After you submit your form, a member of our team will be in touch to set up a meeting and gather any additional information you may wish to provide. Any further questions can be directed to appeals@asus.queensu.ca.
