The following regulations apply generally to all financial assistance administered by the University:

• All scholarships, awards and bursaries are given on the recommendation of the Senate Undergraduate Awards Adjudication Committee (SUAAC). Committee decisions, when announced, are final.
  
  
• The University does not guarantee the payment of any scholarships, awards or bursaries listed in the Calendar other than those provided directly from funds of the University. If invested funds do not provide the necessary income for an endowed scholarship, award or bursary payment of the award may be reduced or the award withheld. The University reserves the right to withhold awards donated by individuals or organizations where the funds required have not actually been received.
  
  
• The University reserves the right to refrain from making an award if, in its opinion, none of the applicants meet the terms specified.
  
  
• The individual student is responsible for knowing the deadlines, proper completion of the application forms and supplying all appropriate documentation for the various scholarships, awards and bursaries. Incomplete applications may be rejected.
  
  
• The Senate Policy Committee on Scholarships, Awards and Bursaries (SPCSAB) ensures that all scholarships, awards and bursaries administered by the University or listed in its Calendar, are in the best interests of the University as an academic institution. The terms of reference for scholarships, awards and bursaries should not include restrictive criteria unrelated to academic merit or financial need such as race, creed, colour, sex, or national origin, when the committee determines these criteria are improper or irrelevant.
  
  
• The Senate Undergraduate Awards Adjudication Committee has the right to give special consideration to course load requirements for scholarships, awards or bursaries for persons with disabilities who are unable to meet the course load requirements due to their disability. Supporting documentation may be required.
  
  
• Students who misrepresent themselves on application forms for scholarships, awards or bursaries will be subject to disciplinary action.
  
  
• Any regulations which apply to a specific category of financial assistance are given within that particular subsection of the Calendar.
