Submit Your Appeal

If you wish to submit a request for the review of your disciplinary case please carefully read through the information and instructions below and electronically submit your appeal accordingly. Upon its receipt of the appeal request, the Office of Judicial Affairs and Community Standards will gather all relevant documents and information related to your case and send them to the appeal officer indicated in your hearing outcome letter.

A student found responsible for violating CC, SEAS, or University policies has the right to request an appeal of the decision and the resulting sanctions.  There are three grounds upon which an appeal of the decision may be made:

1. The student has new information, unavailable at the time the hearing;
2. The student has concerns with the process that may change or affect the outcome of the decision; or
3. The student feels that the sanction issued is too severe.

The request for review must be received within ten calendar days (or as indicated in the hearing outcome letter) of the student receiving notice of the hearing outcome. 

After carefully considering the appeal, the appeal officer will determine if a change in the outcome of the original decision is warranted. The appeal officer may also change the sanction making it either less or more severe. Regardless of the outcome of the appeal, the appeal officer will notify the student of the final decision in writing.

Please attach a double-spaced letter indicating the grounds upon which you are appealing your sanction and all additional information that will aid the appeal officer in making his/her decision.
