Appeals

Students have the right to request an Appeal in the Community Standards Process.

There are three primary types of appeals:

1. Appeal of a Community Standards Outcome
   • Filed using the Student Conduct Appeal Form.
   • This type of appeal follows an Administrative Conference.
2. Appeal of the Citations Procedures
   • Filed using the Request for Administrative Conference via Citation Procedures
3. Appeal of Interim Administrative Action
   • Filed using the Interim Action Appeal Form.
   • This allows a student to request review of an interim measure (such as removal from housing or restrictions on campus access) imposed while a case is pending.

All appeals must be submitted by the stated deadline in the outcome letter or interim action notice. Students who need more time to prepare their appeal may submit a Request for Appeal Extension prior to the deadline for consideration by the Director of Student Conduct.

Appeal of Sexual Misconduct/Title IX Outcome

• Filed using the Sexual Misconduct/Title IX Appeal Form.

This form is used when appealing the outcome of cases resolved under Georgetown’s Sexual Misconduct and Title IX procedures.

Appeals Timeline

Appeals will typically be reviewed and decided within approximately two business weeks of their submission. This timeline may vary depending on the time of year. If a decision is appealed within or after the last two weeks of spring semester classes, that appeal will, under typical circumstances, be reviewed and decided when the standing Appeals Committee resumes meeting in the Fall Semester. If you have questions about when your appeal may be decided, please contact studentconduct@georgetown.edu.
