Community Standards Appeal Form

Description and Process

The IUP Community Standards Policy provides the opportunity for decisions made by the Office of Student Support and Community Standards to be appealed. Appeals may be submitted based on any one or combination of three reasons:

1. There was a procedural error which likely impacted the outcome of the hearing.

2. There is new information for which there is a legitimate reason it could not be presented at the original hearing.

3. The sanctions issued are arbitrary and capricious.

An appeal must be submitted within five calendar days of the delivery of a decision. Appeals are reviewed by the Director of Student Support and Community Standards and, if they meet one of the above criteria, they are delivered to the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs for review.

For a full detailed description of the appeal process, please visit www.iup.edu/studentsupportandstandards.
