Time Requirements
A student wishing to initiate the grievance procedure must submit a request in writing, as further described below, to the chairperson of the Hearing Committee within ten business days after unsuccessful mediation or notice of dismissal. The Hearing Panel must hear the case within ten business days after receiving the request. Extenuating circumstances such as term/summer breaks or temporary unavailability of faculty and/or student may necessitate a longer interval between request and hearing. In such cases, the Committee Chairperson will use reasonable efforts to inform the petitioning student of the delay and anticipated timeline.
