Appeals

The Right to Appeal:

All students found in violation of the Honor Code or the Code of Conduct are entitled to appeal. Appeals are limited to specific grounds as specified in the Student Handbook (pp. 79-81). Regardless of the type of case, a student may always appeal the sanction(s) imposed. Students who resolve their discipline case via an Informal Resolution are limited to appealing the sanction(s) imposed. Students who request formal hearings may appeal on the basis of procedural irregularity, discrimination in the hearing, lack of clear and convincing evidence, excessive or inappropriate sanction, or newly discovered material evidence unknown at the time of the hearing.

The Appeals Process:

Appeals of Violations of the Code of Conduct
Students who wish to appeal may do so within five business days of notification of the outcome of their hearing. Appeals may be based on one or more the grounds specified in the Handbook. Appeals of cases resulting in a sanction of less than suspension are reviewed by the Dean of Students or designee (109 Campus Center). Appeals of suspension or dismissal are filed with the Vice President for Student Affairs (210 Campus Center) and are reviewed by the Appellate Review Committee. For more information, please review the Appeals Flow Chart.

Appeals of Violations of the Honor Code
Students who wish to appeal may do so within five business days of notification of the outcome of their hearing. Appeals may be based on one or more the grounds specified in the Handbook. Appeals are reviewed by the Appeals Committee through the Vice President for Student Affairs. For more information, please see the Student Handbook (pp. 96-97).

All Appeals submitted for review must be accompanied by an Appeals Form available in the Dean of Students Office.
