One of the initiatives behind bringing you a handbook designed ex-clusively to introducing issues of equity to students is part of this ac-tive raising of awareness, as well as to empower students to see their positive potential in breaking the cycles of inequity that, in our complicity, we unknowingly perpetuate and become victim to.

This student rights handbook aims to present the rights and responsibilities granted by the University in a concise and coherent manner. You should not only familiarize yourself with this handbook, but also review your Undergraduate Calendar and the York Website, as they are two easily accessible sources that contain all the information provided in this handbook in expanded form.
