This form was created to assist students in filing timely appeals of CONDUCT OUTCOMES ONLY. THIS FORM IS NOT TO BE USED FOR ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT APPEALS. Once the appeal is submitted, the appeal will be considered received.
If you are in need of assistance completing an appeal, please contact the Office of the Dean of Students (812-237-3829) and request to speak with Dr. Amanda Hobson or Courtney McCrary.
An appeal from any university conduct process decision, either conference, administrative hearing or University conduct board, must be made in writing within five calendar days following the date notice is received by the student. A student may be notified of the decision via meeting with hearing officer, email, or phone. The University has determined that University provided electronic mail is the official form of communication; therefore, the five calendar day time frame begins at the time the email is sent.
Students may file one (1) appeal per case. In the event multiple students are involved in one case, each student pursuing an appeal must do so individually. Submitting an appeal does not guarantee a meeting with the administrator responsible for deciding the appeal outcome. For that reason, it is important all information for consideration be made clear in the written appeal. The appeal must be a word or PDF document and be attached to this coversheet in the "Appeal and Supporting Documentation" section below.
Under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and the Violence Against Women’s Act, the complainant in cases of sexual violence have the identical rights as the charged student which includes the right to appeal.
