This written appeal must be made within 10 school days of receipt of the program faculty`s decision and must state the grounds for the appeal. The acceptable grounds for appeal are (1) technical error, (2) new information, or (3) extenuating circumstances.
The appropriate dean, whose decision is final, renders a decision within 10 school days of the appeal. For purposes of this procedure, "school day" is defined as any day classes are in session, excluding Summer Session.
