Standards of Student Conduct

Appeals

1. A student has 48 hours from the hearing conclusion to submit an appeal in writing to the hearing chairperson. Failure to submit an appeal within the time allotted renders the decision final.

2. The Chairperson refers the appeal to the Provost.  A decision on the appeal will be made within 48 hours and is based on the letter of appeal and the case file.  The Provost may remand the case to the Judicial Board only if he/she specifies procedural errors that denied the student a fair hearing, or if additional significant evidence becomes available.

3. The Provost shall send a copy of the written decision on the appeal to the student, the faculty member, and the hearing chairperson.

4. The decision of the Provost shall be final.

The appeal letter must state the grounds upon which the appeal is based and the justification for such an appeal. Grounds for appeal include:

  1. Evidence not available at the time of the decision, but now available, which would affect the decision itself.
  2. The case was initiated or conducted with improper procedure.
