Appeals Against Student Discipline Decisions

Appeals against disciplinary decisions can be made for the following reasons only:

       i) There was a procedural irregularity prior to or in the conduct of the hearing. This may include issuing a penalty that is at variance with the published schedule.

       ii) There is new evidence that can be substantiated, including extenuating circumstances, which was not known at the time, and may have affected the outcome had it been known to the Designated Officer/Panel/Committee and that there is a valid reason for not making it known at the time.

If it is clear that a prima facie case for consideration has not been established, the Student Conduct Manager may reject the case.

At stage 1 the student shall have the right of appeal against the decision of a Designated Officer to the Student Conduct Panel. Appeals must be submitted in writing to the Student Conduct Manager, within 10 days, of the date on the letter informing the student of the disciplinary outcome. The appeal shall specify the grounds of the appeal and whether it is against conviction or penalty or both.

At stage 2 the student shall have the right of appeal against the decision of the Student Conduct Panel to the Disciplinary Committee, unless it was already an appeal against the decision of a Designated Officer at stage 1. Appeals must be submitted in writing to the Student Conduct Manager within 10 days of the date of the letter informing the student of the disciplinary outcome. The appeal shall specify the grounds and whether it is against conviction or penalty or both.

At stage 3 the student shall have the right of appeal against the decision of the Disciplinary Committee to the Disciplinary Appeals Committee, unless it was already an appeal against the decision of the Student Conduct Panel. Appeals must be submitted in writing to the Student Conduct Manager within 10 days of the date of the letter informing the student of the disciplinary outcome. The appeal shall specify the grounds and whether it is against conviction or penalty or both.
