Page 47 of 86 1. Request must be submitted to the director of SCCE (or their designee) via an online Disciplinary Sanction Review Request Form. This request can only be submitted once. 2. This request is intended to provide a student with the opportunity to discuss in writing what they have done to pro-actively address their behavior while on disciplinary probation/suspension. 3. In considering this request, the student should provide information showing how they have been going above and beyond the basic requirements of their sanction(s). Students who fulfill the minimum requirements of their sanctions(s) will not be eligible for disciplinary sanction review. 4. A request for disciplinary sanction review should include, but is not limited to, information such as the following: a. Positive change in ethical decision making and personal accountability. b. Proof of counseling and/or assessment (if requested). c. Involvement in educational programs and academic progress. d. Community involvement/service. 5. Upon receipt of the request, it will first be reviewed by the director of SCCE (or their designee) to determine whether or not the student meets criteria for review. If the director of SCCE (or their designee) agrees that the student’s request meets any/all of the above-mentioned criteria, the student generally will be contacted within 15 University business days to schedule a “disciplinary sanction review meeting” with the director of SCCE (or their designee). 6. At this meeting, the student will have the opportunity to further discuss with the director of SCCE (or their designee) why their disciplinary probation and/or suspension status should be modified or terminated. Modifications may not include new or increased sanctions. 7. After the meeting, the director of SCCE (or their designee) will provide a recommendation and rationale for a decision to the Associate Vice President of Student Success for review and approval or denial. 8. Upon approval or denial of the recommendation, the Associate Vice President of Student Success will provide notice of the outcome to the student in writing within 10 University business days. The decision shall include a written statement that explains the basis for the decision. 9. There is no appeal process for Disciplinary Sanction Review. 10. Deadlines for each step in the process outlined above may be revised should extenuating circumstances justify such a change.
