2.13 - Professional Appeals

If a student feels he or she has been accused of unprofessional behavior falsely, and if he or she is unable to resolve the matter by conference through the appropriate chain of command (course instructor → program director → departmental chair → Director of Student Affairs), the student has the right to file an appeal based on the appropriate policy.  The student should follow the appeal procedures outlined in the links below. The links below outline the process for an appeal and the Office of Student Services can also help the student locate information regarding the appeal process.  These policies and procedures are described more fully in the following:
