Formal Academic Integrity Appeal Procedure
If a student believes the decision rendered is unjust or unfair, he or she may appeal the decision. Students from the Online (main) campus should send an email to the Office of the Ombudsman within 30 days after the decision is rendered to appeal the academic integrity sanction. Students from a ground campus should contact the Program Chair. If the matter remains unresolved, the student may then appeal to the University Dean within seven days after the decision from the Administrative Faculty Member is sent in the form a letter explaining why the student disagrees with the finding of a violation and including information that would warrant a change in the finding. The decision of the University Dean is final.
