Appeal Form


Students may question a decision based on faculty-approved policies and decisions made by faculty, administrative staff or the University Conduct/Honor Board. All appeals must follow the procedure outlined in the relevant Student Guide to Campus Life. 


Appeals are limited to 1,500 words including attachments. Grounds for the appeal must be clearly and concisely stated, and all relevant information substantiating the grounds for appeal should be included.

The designated party will assess the written appeal to determine whether it is timely filed, based on permissible grounds, and in compliance with word count limitations. If it is determined that the written appeal does not meet any of these criteria, the appeal will be denied without review by the Executive Committee or designate reviewing body.

If completing an appeal, it is limited to 1,500 words and due within five (5) calendar days after receipt of outcome. If the appeal is properly filed and applicable, the Executive Committee is required to respond to the written appeal within fifteen (15) business days.  

Mere dissatisfaction with the outcome is not a valid basis for appeal. In addition, appeals are not intended to be a rehearing of the matter. The scope of the appeal will be limited to the grounds for appeal included in the written appeal submissions. In any request for an appeal, the burden of proof lies with the party requesting the appeal, because the outcome will be presumed to have been decided reasonably and appropriately.

For Title IX appeal procedures, please consult the relevant Student Guide to Campus Life.
