Significant Newly Acquired Information

In cases whereby newly acquired or discovered documentation, sufficient enough to alter the original decision is submitted as an appeal request beyond the expired appeal request deadline, the matter may be reviewed by the Vice President for Student Success and Human Resources or designee for consideration of re-opening the case. If the newly acquired or discovered documentation was not accessible during the original appeal deadline, then the Vice President for Student Success and Human Resources or designee may conduct an initial review of the newly submitted appeal request form and remand the case to the original hearing body for re-opening of the hearing to allow reconsideration of the original determination and/or sanction(s). If the newly acquired or discovered documentation is not sufficient enough to alter the original decision, the appeal request may be denied. The decision of the Vice President for Student Success and Human Resources or their designee will be final.
