Judicial Appeal Request Form

The Right to Appeal

All students have the right to appeal a disciplinary decision. The original decision including the sanctions, restrictions, etc. will stand until the appeal is heard. Those decisions made by a hall director can be appealed to the director of residence life or his/her designee. Decisions made by the director of residence life or his/her designee can be appealed to the dean of students or his/her designee. Decisions made by the dean of students or his/her designee can be appealed to the Vice President for Student Life. All appeals must be made in writing within 24 hours of the notification of the original sanctions.

Reason for appeal
- The procedures set forth during the meeting by the hearing officer were not followed and as a result the decision was substantially affected (there was a procedural issue found).
- The evidence presented was not substantial enough to justify the decision rendered by the hearing officer (new information was found).
- The sanction(s) imposed were not equal with the gravity of the offense for which the accused student was found responsible (sanctions don’t fit the violation).
