Student Handbook 2023-2024

Appeals of Discipline Decisions and/or Sanctions for Student Integrity Violations

  1. A student disciplined by the College may appeal the discipline decision and/or the sanctions imposed. Appeals must be in writing (handwritten or e-mail) and must contain a brief description of the history of the charge including the decision, the sanctions issued and the ground for the appeal.
  2. Appeals will be considered on any one or more of the following grounds:
    1. The information presented at the hearing was insufficient to support the decision;
    2. New and important information that was not available prior to the hearing can be presented; or
    3. Sanctions issued were capricious and not consistent with the policy violated.
  3. Written appeals must be received by the Dean within three (3) business days of the student’s receipt of the original decision by the Student Affairs Committee. The decision of the Dean is final, and the student will be notified of such in writing.
  4. Once a dismissed student has exhausted appeal rights, that student is not eligible for readmission to the College.
