STUDENT APPEALS AND GRIEVANCES
Purpose
(1) The University recognizes the importance of providing an opportunity for appeal for students from decisions made by
student governing groups, University administrators, committees, and faculty and staff. Particular care is taken to provide
safeguards for students in any action which significantly alters their status at the University, e.g. changes their living
situation, prohibits them from participating in certain activities, suspends them from the institution, significantly affects
their academic standing.
(2) Basic appeal procedures are summarized in the following rules. Any questions regarding appeal procedures should be
directed to the individual department or committee involved or to the Office of the Dean of Students (200 Kerr
Administration Building).
(3) Unless otherwise specified, all initial appeals must be filed in writing within 15 calendar days of the decision or action
being appealed, and all appeals to subsequent steps in the process must be filed within seven calendar days of the date of
the decision at the previous level.
