Grounds for an Appeal

A resident may only appeal the eviction on one, or both, of the following grounds:

2. New information / Extenuating Circumstances: If the complaint or respondent has new information, or documentation of extenuating circumstances that was not available at the time of the original investigation.

If neither of these grounds are met the resident will be informed in writing within two (2) College business days that the request for appeal has been denied.

If any of the terms and conditions of the Residence Agreement are broken prior to the date of the eviction deadline as stipulated in the eviction letter, the resident will be immediately evicted.
