Community Standards Appeal Form


The findings of the Hearing Officer or Hearing Board may be appealed by either the Reporting Party or the Responding Party. Submitting an appeal will not guarantee that your outcome will be overturned but it will ensure that it is fully vetted by an Appellate Officer.

Please note that appeals do not serve as re-hearings of the original case.

Appeals must be submitted by the student through this form and contain the specific grounds for the appeal based on the criteria identified above. Please note that failure to attend the hearing or to provide a statement in lieu of attendance are not grounds for an appeal. In most cases the Assistant Dean of Students & Director of Community Standards will review the appeal except in instances where they heard the original case. In some cases, the appeal may be considered by the Dean of Students.

The appeal must be received by the Office of Community Standards within five days of the date at the top of the hearing outcome notification e-mail.
