Frequently Asked Questions for Academic Members
As academic staff and an URFA member, you have rights and privileges granted to you as part of your collective agreement. The following are some frequently asked questions for academic members.
How do I file an appeal?
Are you considering appealing a negative career decision? If you are an academic member, you have this right under your collective agreement.
The deadline to receive your decision with regard to increment, merit and/or promotion is stated in your collective agreement.
Campion College — Article 18.8 Process for Appealing Career-Progress Decisions
First Nations University — Article 19.7 Appeal Process
Luther College — Article 18.8 Process for Appealing Career-Progress Decisions
University of Regina — Article 18.8 Process for Appealing Career-Progress Decisions
To file for an appeal, please contact the URFA office.
If you are uncertain if you may want to appeal a negative career decision, we recommend that you contact the office for advice. Appeals can always be withdrawn before they are scheduled if you change your mind.
How do I donate my APEA to the URFA student bursaries? (U of R only)
Did you know if you have unused APEA funds, you can donate them to the URFA student bursaries, instead of letting them lapse?
The best way to donate your APEA funds is to fill out the APEA Donation Form at APEA Donation Form.
In the “purpose” box, click ‘other’, and in the “comments” box, you may indicate the amount and specific bursary you want to donate to.
URFA has three bursaries — learn more about them by clicking here.
I still have questions.
You can contact the URFA office at any time at urfa@uregina.ca or at 306−585−4378. We would be happy to speak with you!
