Page 1 of 3 Accused students who are found guilty and sanctioned by the Honor Court can request an appeal of the decision on three different grounds: Insufficiency of Evidence, Violation of Basic Rights provided in Section IV.A of the Instrument, and Severity of Sanction. In order to appeal, the student must file a written Appeal Petition with the Judicial Programs Officer outlining his or her reasons for appealing within five business days of receiving the Court's rationale. Upon review of the appeal petition, the Judicial Programs Officer may either grant or deny the appeal.
If the JPO grants the appeal, he or she will schedule a University Hearings Board (UHB) to hear the matter. If the JPO denies the appeal petition, the student may request that the Appellate Review Board (comprised of one faculty member, one administrator, and one student with no prior knowledge of the case) review his decision. The Appellate Review Board (ARB) reviews the appeal petition and makes the final determination as to whether the student will be granted an appeal. If the ARB grants the appeal, it will instruct the JPO to schedule a University Hearings Board to hear the matter. If the ARB denies the appeal, the decision is final and the appeals process ends.
