RESOLUT ION OF STUDENT-SUPERVI SOR CONFL ICTS During students’ supervision, conflicts may arise. It is desirable that these are addressed and settled as quickly as possible within students’ College/Faculty. If the problem is an irreconcilable personality clash between a supervisor and a student, or where the development of the research topic reveals that a supervisor’s area of expertise is no longer relevant, then the student or his/her supervisor may request a change of supervision without discredit to either party. The student or his/her supervisor may request that the Graduate Studies, Research and Entrepreneurship Coordinator nominates a replacement supervisor with the approval of the Board of Graduate Studies, Research and Entrepreneurship. Where problems are more complex, the resources of the University’s Counselling Unit may be utilized, if indicated. For problems that remain unresolved, the student should state the grievance in writing to the School of Graduate Studies, Research and Entrepreneurship, which will determine the most appropriate way to resolve the matter. “EXC E L L E NC E THROUGH KNOWL E DG E ” 135 EXAMINATIONS
