Hi,

I checked my admission profile for the university of Saskatchewan and it said I had being refused based on the following:
There is faculty/disciplinary action on your academic record which impacts your
suitability for admission

They haven't emailed me with this decision. there's nothing there. and my question is, there is nothing on my academic record. I have never failed a subject. no disciplinary action has ever been taken against me so I don't understand what this could be?

Email them and ask them for an explanation. The admissions team.

That's the thing, they didn't even email me this and they don't respond to emails except for with an automated reply. This was updated on my profile

Find their phone number and call them. Nothing is going to happen by posing the question here. And waiting is not a proactive and feasible option if I was in your shoes.

Don’t email. Call the faculty/department as it states disciplinary action so there are issues with your academic records.

Dude, none of the admission committee gives explanation to rejections. I have been following admission process from quite some time and have not seen anyone getting an explanation for rejection. Last year I was rejected from McMaster and UCB but I knew those who were in admission committee and all they said was rework on your SOP and work experience. This year I got acceptance form four Universities which are in top 7 in Canada. OP can try but very less chances that he/she will get a reason for this. I will also refrain from calling and asking.

The purpose of OP calling is not for rejection but to inquire about the fact that they have been marked as having disciplinary issues when OP claims that there should be no reason for that.

That is not the issue. His file states disciplinary actions so this is more than just a refusal. The committee may believe there are fake or doctored documents.
