If I am wrongly accused of breaching academic integrity, can I appeal?

Yes. You have the right to appeal if you are accused of breaching of academic integrity. Specifically, you can appeal the decision or the sanction, but note that you cannot appeal referrals for remediation. Successful appeals typically have strong grounds, meaning that students are able to bring forward clear evidence that shows no wrongdoing occurred, or can otherwise demonstrate that the decision was faulty or the policy was applied incorrectly.

Note that appeals of breaches of academic integrity have a specific process starting with the Level 1 – Informal Appeal. Review the Academic Integrity Policy’s Appendix E – Academic Integrity Student Appeal Procedure for the details of steps you must take to initiate an appeal.
