There is an appeals process available for students. Written in the Code of Student Conduct, the appeal procedures are clear and your student may ask questions in our office for clarification.

Deadlines are important in the appeal process. Upon accepting an Informal Resolution, the student waives all rights to a formal hearing. The student may not revoke or appeal an Informal Resolution.
Student Supporters
Parents, families, and supporters of students play an important role in ensuring integrity and accountability. Explore resources for supporting your student.
Understand Student Privacy (FERPA)
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (also known as the Buckley Amendment) is a Federal law that helps protect the privacy of student education records.
The Act provides students the right to inspect and review education records, the right to seek to amend those records, and the right to limit disclosure of information from the records. The intent of the legislation is to protect the rights of students and to ensure the privacy and accuracy of education records. The Act applies to all institutions that are recipients of federal aid administered by the Secretary of Education.
