Students do not have the option to appeal a decision of “In Violation” rendered by the hearing board, whether it is the first, second, or any subsequent offense.  Students do not have the option to appeal the penalty determined by the faculty member for first offenses or to appeal the grade of “F” for the course given for second offenses. 

For offenses resulting in suspension or permanent dismissal, students have the option to present written information to the President of the University in their defense to appeal the length of the suspension or to appeal a decision of permanent dismissal.  Students must present information in  their defense, as allowed in this paragraph, to the President within five (5) working days after receipt of written notification of the suspension or dismissal.  However, as stated in No. 1 above, students cannot appeal a decision of “In Violation” rendered by the hearing board.
