SHS Statement on the Interim Appeal Policy

The following is an update and statement of clarification on the Appeals Process Section of the Residence Community Standards. On page 8 of the posted Residence Community Standards (http://www.ryerson.ca/studentservices/housing/rescontract/) indicates that the new appeals process will be posted online in August 2009.

Summer is predictably a busy time in Student Housing Services as we process over 1200 applications and prepare for the arrival of almost 900 students in 3 residence facilities. During this time we did experience some delay in the review of the Appeals Process and thus it was not posted online prior to Residence Move‐In Day.

However a draft appeals policy has been completed and will be circulated to some key campus partners for consultation. The new policy will be posted on the Student Housing Services website once the consultations are complete and the community will be notified.

In the interim Student Housing Services will retain the Appeals policy that was used last year. If you wish to enter an appeal please see the posted "Interim Appeal Policy."

If you have any questions about this policy or any other policy related to the Student Housing Services operation – please contact the Student Housing Services office at 416‐979‐5284 or housing@ryerson.ca.
