Judicial Appeal Process

Appeals of disciplinary decisions are reviewed only if they are submitted in writing. Three types of appeals are possible:

1. Appeals seeking a review of the procedures
2. Appeals seeking a review of penalties
3. Appeals based on new evidence not presented at original hearing.
   

All judicial appeals must:

1. Be submitted to the Residence Life Manager, or to the Director of Auxiliary Services if the student wishes to appeal a judicial sanction imposed by the Residence Life Manager, no later than 48 hours after the student(s) or group has been notified of a decision, or prior to the expressed vacate deadline, whichever comes sooner.
2. Specify whether the appeal is seeking a review of procedures and/or the severity of the penalty or presenting new evidence.
3. Provide the necessary detailed information to support their position. Appeals of disciplinary decisions made by the Campus Judicial Officer/Committee must be submitted to the Vice Chancellor of Student Services, who may then submit the appeal and all other information to the Chancellor for final action. Based upon his/her review, the hearing officer of the appeal may:
   a. confirm the original decision;
   b. return the case to the original hearing officer or Campus Judicial Committee for a new hearing;
   c. change the sanction(s) and/or the condition(s) originally imposed.
   In all cases, the hearing officer of the appeal will provide those concerned with the appeal with a written rationale for his/her actions.
