V. Appeal Proceedings

A student may appeal the decision of the Honor Board. Appeals must be made in writing to the Dean of Students within five (5) business days of receipt of the decision. If no appeal is brought within that 5-day period, the decision of the Honor Board is final and no longer subject to appeal.

Upon receipt of a request for appeal, the Dean of Students convenes a Final Appeal Committee comprised of the Mailman School of Public Health Dean, the Vice Dean for Academic Affairs, and the Dean of Students. All materials from prior hearings are submitted to the Final Appeal Committee for review. The committee may choose to call the student charged or others to give further testimony, but this is not required and is left for the members of the Final Appeal Committee to decide. The Final Appeal Committee reviews the case and makes the final determination.

Note: This section ("Appeal Proceedings") applies only to appeals of decisions rendered by the full honor Board. Procedures for appealing the "Initial Determination" by the Honor Board co-chairpersons are detailed in the previous section.
