The Letter of Notification you are sent will include appeal instructions. It is important that you follow these guidelines exactly. When you initiate an appeal, you must specify, in writing, on which justification above you are basing your appeal. Appeals of decisions involving Housing Contract violations are directed to a Housing staff member not involved in your case or your original hearing. The appeal agent may decide to uphold the original decision, change the original decision to a less severe sanction, or overturn the original decision.
Decisions made by the appeal agent are final.
Residence Life Coordinators are acting as agents of the Dean of Students Office in the investigation of violations of the UWS Administrative Code. If violations of both the Housing Contract and UWS Administrative Code are alleged, the Residence Life Coordinator will usually investigate them simultaneously. If you are dissatisfied with the Residence Life Coordinator's recommendation, you may elect to have a hearing in front of the Nonacademic Misconduct Hearing Committee. Information on, and deadlines for, requesting this hearing will be included in the Letter of Notification sent to you. If house or hall community members have been disrupted by your behavior, you may be required to make amends to them.
