Appeals

Student appeals

Administrative Review is available for students to appeal decisions issued by an investigator or hearing officer. If you disagree with a decision that is made, a delegated panel of three reviewing officers will complete a review of the case and decision. Reviewing officers can be composed of UW faculty and students. (Note: Student reviewing officers will not serve on panels for civil rights matters.)

The Review Coordinator is a University staff member who works independently of conduct offices and the Civil Rights Compliance Office to facilitate the Administrative Review process. The Review Coordinator is a non-voting member of the Administrative Review process.

Keep in mind that the opportunity to request Administrative Review is time-limited. An Administrative Review must be requested within 21 days of the issuance of the Initial Order. If one is not requested, the Initial Order becomes a Final Order.
