Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) The university may impose a fine on
			 students who fail to provide documentation of an immunization required by the
			 university or obtain a waiver for medical or religious reasons as set forth in
			 EWU Policy 602-02 (Immunizations). The fine may be up to two hundred fifty
			 dollars per term for each academic term a student is enrolled and fails to
			 comply with university requirements. The fine may be waived if the student
			 complies with the immunization requirements within fourteen calendar days from
			 the date notice of the fine is sent to the student as specified
			 below.
(2) The university will
			 provide written notice of the fine to students who fail to comply with the
			 immunization requirements no later than thirty days after the initial date of
			 the academic term. Notice will be sent via email to students' official
			 university emails. Students will be given an opportunity to contest the notice
			 by filing a request for a brief adjudicative hearing within fourteen calendar
			 days of the date when the initial notice is sent to the student's official
			 university email account. To request review of the fine, the student must
			 submit a written request to: Student Rights and Responsibilities, 129 Showalter
			 Hall, Cheney, WA 99004-2496 or via email to srr@ewu.edu. The request must set
			 forth the reasons why the student disagrees with the fine. If a student fails
			 to timely request a brief adjudicative hearing, the fine will become
			 final.
(3) If a student timely
			 files a request for a brief adjudicative hearing, a presiding officer will be
			 appointed and will consider any materials submitted by the student in writing
			 contesting the initial fine. Within ten calendar days of receipt of the request
			 for a hearing, the presiding officer or designee will send an initial order
			 setting forth the officer's decision and the reasons for such decision. The
			 order should also communicate any appeal options available.
(4) The student may appeal the initial order
			 by filing a written appeal with the dean of students within twenty-one calendar
			 days from the date the initial order was sent to their official university
			 email account. To request an appeal, the student must submit a written request
			 to: Dean of Students, 301 Pence Union Building, Cheney, WA 99004-2496 or via
			 email to dos@ewu.edu. The appeal must set forth the reasons why the student
			 believes the initial order was incorrect. If a student fails to timely appeal,
			 the initial order will be final.
(5) If a student timely files a request for
			 an appeal, a presiding officer will be appointed and will consider any
			 materials reviewed by the presiding officer at the initial hearing along with
			 any materials submitted by the student with the appeal. Within twenty calendar
			 days of the receipt of the appeal, the presiding officer or designee will send
			 a final order setting forth the officer's decision and the reasons for such
			 decision. This order will be the university's final decision. The order should
			 communicate that judicial review of the university's decision may be available
			 under chapter 34.05 RCW.
