At its meeting of March 17, Senate unanimously passed a motion regarding academic accommodation in relation to the March 1 events.

Senate is the senior academic body that has authority over all matters related to Concordia’s academic regulations and programs.

I encourage you to read the full motion below, which extends academic accommodation to all students across both campuses for March 1, 2 and 3, 2017:

“Whereas Senate acknowledges that some students continued to be affected in the days immediately following the events of March 1, 2017;

That faculty members be asked to extend academic accommodations to all students (undergraduate, graduate and continuing education in all programs) who request an accommodation because their academic activities, regardless of location, were affected by the events of March 1, 2017, and that such accommodations be applied to graded work due on March 2 and 3, 2017; and

That students wanting to make arrangements for academic accommodations as a result of the events of March 1, 2017 contact their professor or department chair no later than March 31, 2017 with their request.”

Once again, I’d like to thank all the members of our university community for their dignity, understanding and resilience in responding to the events of March 1.
