Appeals Process
Any decision of a Conduct Officer may be appealed in writing within 48 hours to:
- the Director of Residence Life, for those conduct cases heard by an RD,
- the Vice President for Student Affairs for cases heard by the Director of Residence Life or 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 Director of Residence Life, 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. Any student who fails to attend his/her conduct meeting will be sanctioned without his/her input and forfeits the ability to appeal their sanction.
