Right to Review   

Right to Review

1. A student placed on academic probation or warned of academic risk without requirements other than mandatory course counseling and writing evaluation and remedial work has no right to review.

2. A student placed on academic probation subject to suspension or dismissal or to any other requirements, such as refraining from extracurricular activities, summer study abroad or clinics or, in the case of a full-time student, from engaging in any outside employment, may petition the Academic Credentials Committee for relief.

3. A petition for review must be filed in writing with the Associate Dean within 10 days of receipt of the notice of imposition of sanctions. At the discretion of the Dean of Students, the time for such filing may be extended for up to one year from the date of notice if a petition for extension is filed in writing with the Dean of Students stating good cause for any delay. For purpose of this rule, a student is responsible for notifying the Registrar in writing of any change of address.

Academic Credentials Committee

The Academic Credentials Committee consists of four or more faculty members, appointed by the Associate Dean, and the president of the Student Bar Association or his/her designee. Appointments are for one year, commencing July 1.

Any person appearing before the committee may elect to exclude the student member or any one faculty member from sitting without any showing of good cause. In such cases the committee sits with a reduced number of members.

A student appearing before the committee has the right to counsel. This counsel need not be an attorney.
