Appeal Details

Appeal Process
Appeals for Student Organizations should be submitted by the President (or the main student leader) of the Student Organization. The process for appeals is set forth in the Student Organization Conduct Policy Violations Procedure. To ensure processing and tracking of an appeal, students are required to use this Appeal Form when submitting an appeal so that all necessary elements for the appeal are included. A request for appeal must be submitted within five (5) business days of delivery of notice of a hearing outcome or notice of sanctions imposed.

Organizations that do not submit appeals within five (5) business days waive their opportunity to appeal. Once you submit this appeal form, you will receive an email confirming that your appeal has been submitted. If you do not receive confirmation, you should resubmit the form.

A student organization is afforded the option to appeal: 1) the finding of responsibility (after an organization is found through a Student Organization Review Board hearing to have violated university policy); and/or 2) the sanction(s) imposed by the university against the student organization.

If the decision-maker does not agree that either ground of appeal has been satisfied, the decision-maker will affirm the finding of responsibility, and the University's decision in the matter will be final.

The appellate decision-maker will review the information provided in this appeal of sanction(s) and other information as determined at the decision-maker's discretion and decide to:
