Appeals Process

Students may appeal the decision from a conduct meeting or appeal the decision made by the Student Conduct Committee (SCC) within four (4) business days from the time a decision is made and sent. No sanctions may be imposed during the open appeal time. Reasons a student could appeal a conduct meeting or committee hearing decision may include:  New evidence or information is available which was not available at the time of the meeting.  Sanctions imposed are unduly severe or disproportionately harsh.  A procedural error occurred. If a student chooses to appeal:  A written appeal must be submitted no later than four (4) business days after the receipt of the meeting decision.  The written appeal must identify one or more of the reasons listed above for which the appeal should be considered, along with any additional information the student finds relevant.  The written appeal must include the reason(s) for which the appeal should be considered, as well as any supplementary information the student deems relevant that was not submitted previously. Written appeals are submitted directly to an Associate Dean, or designee, for review and determination. In instances where the Associate Dean served as the Conduct Hearing Officer, or where the SCC decided the case, the written appeal must be submitted to the Vice President of Student Affairs.

College staff have ten (10) business days from receipt of the appeal to rule on an appeal. The appeal decision is considered to be final.
