2. Student Academic Complaints (Policy 7210-8): The Vanier College Student Academic Complaints Policy
and procedures puts an emphasis on mediation as the primary means to resolve complaints in the academic area. If
you have a problem with a teacher and have been unable to resolve it by talking with him or her, you may wish to

absent from the College on a holy day not formally recognized in the College calendar must inform their teachers
in writing, during the first week of classes, of the particular date(s) and times of the religious holy days on which
they must be absent. Absences approved in this manner are considered to be excused absences. Students are
responsible for material covered in the classes and labs they miss.
In case of doubt or conflict in interpretation, the official College policy will apply. These policies can
be found online, in Student services or the VCSA office.
