Student Rights & Responsibilities Process Appeal Form


Appeal Instructions

All students or student organizations interested in filing an appeal should complete the form below. Please note you will need your case number when submitting this request. Your case number can be found on your decision/outcome letter that was delivered to you detailing the decision made in your case.

SRR considers appeals only based on the following Appeal Criteria:

  • The existence of procedural errors so substantial that they greatly impacted the findings, responsibility determination, and/or the ultimate Outcomes;
  • Presentation of new and significant evidence which was not reasonably available at the time of the initial Case Resolution Meeting and would likely alter the findings, responsibility determination, and/or the ultimate Outcomes;
  • New discovery of significant conflict of interest or bias on part of a member of a Case Resolution Body member that greatly impacted the findings, responsibility determination, and/or the ultimate Outcomes; and/or
  • The Outcomes imposed are substantially disproportionate to the severity of the violation.

The appeal must be submited by the Student rather than a third-party.

Your appeal must include:

  • The issues being appealed with reference to the applicable Appel Criteria;
  • Specific information to support the specific Appeal Criteria cited in the appeal; and
  • For appeals based on new evidence and how that evidence would likely alter the findings, responsibility determination, and/or the ultimate Outcomes.
