Appraisal Rationale:

These records are vital in that they document the requests of students for changes to their academic standing, and therefore they affect the information contained in their official academic record. For that reason, also, they must be retained for at least one year after a student's last registration, in accordance with the requirements of Section 31 of the British Columbia Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy (FOIPOP) Act.
