Student Conduct Appeal

Appeal Processes for Category I: General Student Conduct Case Policies & Procedures

Any student/student organization found responsible for a violation of the Code of Student Conduct shall have the right to appeal by filing a written petition for appeal. When the reporting individual has the right to be informed of the outcome of the hearing, the College may allow reporting individuals to appeal.

A decision reached by the Conduct Board or a sanction imposed by the student conduct officer may be appealed by the accused student(s)/student organization to the vice president for enrollment management and student affairs or designee. The student/student organization or reporting individual, if applicable, must make an appeal in writing within five (5) business days after receipt of the written decision.

An appeal may be heard on the following grounds only:

Due Process: The Conduct Board or student conduct officer failed to observe the procedural requirements established by the Code of Student Conduct.
Severity of Sanction: The sanction is “too severe” or “not severe enough” based on the proven offense.
New Evidence: New evidence has appeared that: 1) was not known at the time of the original hearing; 2) could not have reasonably been discovered at the time of the original hearing; and 3) is material, so may have had an impact on the outcome of the original conduct decision.

Students, members of student organizations, and reporting individuals do not have the opportunity to meet with the appeal officer, unless, in the appeal officer’s discretion, a meeting would serve to clarify an issue on appeal.

The appeal officer may take any of the following actions:

Affirm the findings and sanctions of the original conduct official or conduct board,
Modify the charges and/or sanctions, or
Determine the student/student organization not responsible of the charge(s).
