Appeals based on substantial new evidence must be presented within one year from the date of an Honor Panel decision. Appeals based on either good cause or infringement on the rights of the accused student because of procedural irregularities must be made within 15 days to the Director of the Honor System. Faculty members directly involved in the case may appeal the decision of the Hearing Panel within 15 days of the decision. The Director appoints a separate six-member Appeal Panel to consider the appeal. After deliberation, the Appeal Panel reports their findings and recommendation to the Director who forwards the Appeal Panel's decision to the Honor Council.
