Appeals Process
A student has 48 hours from receipt of the letter to appeal the decision to the appropriate appeal officer below in writing.
- the Dean of Students, for those conduct cases heard by Office of Residence Life staff,
- the Vice President for Student Affairs for cases heard by the Dean of Students or the Dean of Graduate MSB
- the SOE Academic Standards Committee for actions taken by the Associate Dean for Graduate Programs
- the Dean of the School of Education for actions taken by the SOE Academic Standards Committee.
Once an appeal is submitted the appeals officer will determine if a face to face meeting is warranted. An appellate decision for this purpose is defined as having the power to review the conduct findings of another conduct officer. Appellate decisions of the Dean of Students, Dean of Graduate MSB, Dean of the School of Education or Vice President for Student Affairs are final and not appealable and will be rendered after receiving the appeal.
Failure to schedule and/or attend the hearing without prior consent from the Conduct Officer will result in:
- The forfeiture of the student ability to present information on his/her behalf.
- Sanctions being issued to the student without the benefit of his/her input.
