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.
