You have the right to appeal a decision made during a disciplinary meeting. Appeals of a decision will generally go to the
next administrative level. All requests for appeals must be submitted in writing and delivered to the Office of Housing and
Residential Life within three days from the decision date.
The appeal letter must include:
• The decision
• The sanction
• The reason for appeal
• A contact phone number.
Appeal letters lacking the above stated information will be denied. Should an appeal letter meet the above criteria and
have a reasonable argument for an appeal based on one or more of the following reasons, an appeal meeting will be granted.
Appeals need to be based on one or more of the following:
• New or relevant information that was unavailable at the time of the original disciplinary meeting
• The sanction was not appropriate to the offence
• The Conduct Officer was influenced by personal bias
A student is responsible for completing all sanctions assigned during the appeals process. Sanctions will be removed only
if appeals are upheld. Notification will be given to students regarding whether or not an appeal meeting was granted.
Upon hearing an appeal case, the appeal officer may:
• Uphold the original sanction or decision
• Eliminate or decrease the original sanction or decision
• Change or increase the original sanction or decision
An appeal can only be heard once. The decision of the appeals officer is final.
