A student may request that review of a student conduct decision or sanction be made by the next level in the student conduct process. A review will be considered only if there is evidence of/reason to believe that one or more of the following conditions exist:

  • Gross procedural error that affected the decision
  • New information, unavailable at the time of the hearing, becomes available and such information could have substantially affected the decision
  • Sanctions issued were too severe in relation to the student’s record or nature of the violation

Students wishing to contest the outcome of a hearing are encouraged to speak first with the person that issued the sanction. If the resident wishes to have the matter reviewed by another administrator in the student conduct process, she/he must submit an online request to the Office of Community Standards. . The request form must be completed and submitted online or by paper.
The Office of Community Standards will refer the Request for Review to the appropriate administrator. 
The review may result in one of the following:

  • All findings and sanctions of the initial hearing will be upheld
  • Findings will be reversed and/or sanctions reduced as deemed appropriate
  • Additional sanctions may be enacted in light of new information presented in the request

NOTE: Only one review of a student conduct action or sanction may occur. Students are not afforded opportunities to pursue multiple reviews.
