Help, we can help You have academic issues and need information? Do not know whom to ask?
If your teachers do not have the information, students with questions about academics should start with Kiki Papaconstantinou, their Academic Advisor (Room 234). She can directly handle many of the questions (including credit for prior courses, incomplete courses for medical reasons and athletes' absences). In some cases she will refer questions to other staff in Academic Affairs. Josée Guilbault handles non-athletics-related absences, as well as academic appeals and complaints (Room 233). Kiki and Josée may refer some cases, including student concerns regarding cheating and plagiarism to Gordon Brown, Dean of Faculty and Academic Affairs (Room 226) or to his administrative assistant for booking an appointment, Lynne Bernier (Room 231).
