Appeals Process

If the student or College employee believes that the process and procedures outlined in this Policy were not followed, within 10 business days of the date of the Student Grievance Ad Hoc Committee’s decision an appeal may be submitted to the President/CEO in writing. The Appeals Form is located in the office of the Director of Student Affairs and DEI.

Within 14 business days of receipt of the appeal, the President/CEO or designee(s) may review and communicate with the student, the College employee, the administrator and supervisor, or the members of the Ad Hoc Committee to determine whether the process and procedures were followed.

The President/CEO may render one of the following decisions:

  • Finds evidence of violation of the process and procedures of this Policy, the President/CEO will direct the administrator to review the case anew.
  • Finds no evidence of violation of the process and procedures of this Policy; the President/CEO will uphold the ruling of the Grievance Ad Hoc Committee

The President/CEO will respond, in writing, within 15 business days of receipt of the appeal. The decision of the President/CEO is final and not appealable.
