Students involved in any type of student conduct hearing will have the opportunity to appeal the decisions to the Associate Dean of Student Success, Community Living or their designee.
The student has three (3) business days to send a written appeal to the designated university official from the date they received their case decision letter. A conduct review process may only be requested due to one of the following reasons:
- stating that the processes outlined in the Code of Student Conduct were not followed
- that the sanction given was exorbitant based on the facts of the case
- or that there is new information that was not available at the time of the initial meeting.
Once the request to review is received:
- The Associate Dean of Student Success, Community Living or their designee shall access the case file when a review has been requested.
- The Associate Dean of Student Success, Community Living or their designee may, at their discretion, meet with the respondent (and complainant if UCB). They shall have the sole discretion in accepting or rejecting a case for review based on the grounds for appeal stated above, obtaining additional information relative to the point, and upholding, reversing, or amending the sanction or decision of the Board. The Associate Dean of Student Success, Community Living or their designee may also request that an ad hoc body review the case and make recommendations before making a final decision.
- While the decision of the Associate Dean of Student Success, Community Living or their designee will be considered final, the University’s President reserves the right to amend or alter all administrative and conduct findings of the University.
