Appeal Process

Within 14 calendar days of receiving notification from the dean concerning the decision, the student may submit a written request to the Graduate Council Subcommittee at hoodgrad@hood.edu for reconsideration. This reconsideration must be based on procedural errors or new information not available at the time the complaint was lodged with the dean. The Graduate Council Subcommittee will then review the sanction and proceedings and report its findings to the student and dean. The student can make a final written appeal of the outcome to the provost within 14 calendar days after receiving the sub-committee’s decision. For clarity and legal reasons, all formal complaints and appeals must be in written, not oral form.
