Appealing Academic Integrity Sanctions

Students who wish to appeal the judgment or the sanctions of the sanctioning party may follow the Undergraduate or Graduate Procedures for Grade Appeals. The appeals process is aligned with the program/faculty of the course under appeal, following this sequence: instructor → program director → chairperson/associate dean → AVPAA/VPAA or designee. Appeals consist of mediation among the involved parties. The sanctioning party (the instructor, program director/chairperson, or VPAA based on the sanction) has the sole authority to reduce or eliminate sanctions through the appeals process. If a student’s home department is different from the department in which the course resides, the program director, chairperson/associate dean, and dean of the student’s home department must be informed of the status of the appeal.

All judgments of the vice president for Academic Affairs or designee are final, except when the sanctions of suspension or dismissal are involved. These sanctions may be appealed to the president of the University. Such an appeal, however, shall be entertained solely at the discretion of the president.
