Dear Student,
The Catholic University Code of Student Conduct provides the opportunity to appeal a decision made by a conduct officer (i.e. Community Director or staff in the Office of Student Conduct & Ethical Development). A student must self-initiate an appeal. Please review the Appeals policy found, here.
Please remember that general dissatisfaction with the outcome of the student conduct proceeding or an appeal for mercy are not appropriate grounds for an appeal. Appropriate grounds for an appeal, include:
1) Significant procedural error that changes the findings of fact of the student conduct proceeding; or
2) New evidence that significantly alters the findings of fact, that was previously unknown to the respondent, has been discovered and is available during the appeal process.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact staff in the Office of Student Conduct & Ethical Development (SCED) at cua-studentconduct@cua.edu or (202) 319-5619.
