The Housing Department recognizes that difficulties with the fire inspection process may occur. Below is the description of the appeals process that should be followed if students feel they have a serious concern to address. Students who wish to submit a procedures-related appeal or dispute a fine over a particular interpretation of policy must go to the Housing Department in the Macmillan Building to submit an appeals form.
Students have five business days to submit an appeal.
Fines of a purely factual nature cannot be appealed. The Inspection Manager will respond in writing to each appeal made in the appropriate space on the appeals form, and attempt to resolve the issue if possible. The student will receive two copies of the appeal in campus mail, and if the student is still not satisfied with the action of the Inspection manager, the student may resubmit the appropriate copy to the Housing Department for review by the Committee. The Committee shall meet twice a month to review appeals. The Committee shall require a simple majority vote in reaching its decisions.
