UCF-5.010 Student Conduct Appeals
(2) Disciplinary Sanction Review Request (Probation/Suspension)
(a) After a student has completed one semester of their disciplinary probation or half of their disciplinary suspension, they have the opportunity to request a review of their probation and/or suspension status.
(b) Requests should be submitted to the Director of the OSRR or designee via an online Disciplinary Sanction Review request form available at www.osc.sdes.ucf.edu. This request can only be submitted once a semester.
(c) This request will allow the student the opportunity to discuss what they have done to proactively address their behavior while on disciplinary probation/suspension.
(d) In considering this request a student’s good behavior shall assume that the student is performing above and beyond the basic requirements of their sanction(s). Students that simply fulfill the minimum requirements of their sanction(s) will not be subject for a disciplinary sanction review.
(e) A request for disciplinary sanction review should include information such as the following:
1. Proof of involuntary and or voluntary psychological testing
2. Proof of counseling and/or assessment
3. Involvement in educational programs and academic progress
4. Community involvement/service
5. Occupational growth
(f) This request will first be reviewed by the Director of the OSRR or designee to determine whether or not the student meets criteria for review. If the Director of the OSRR or designee agrees that the student’s request meets the above mentioned criteria, the committee will then contact the student within 14 business days to schedule a “sanction review meeting” with a committee appointed by the Director of the OSRR or designee, comprised of an equal number of faculty, staff and students.
(g) At this meeting, the student will have the opportunity to further discuss with the committee why their disciplinary probation and/or suspension status should be changed.
(h) After the meeting, the committee will issue a recommendation to the Director of the OSRR or designee. The Director of the OSRR or designee will provide a decision to the student in writing within two (2) business days of receiving the recommendation.
(i) If the request is denied by the Director of the OSRR or designee the decision shall include a concise and explicit written statement that explains the basis for that decision.
(j) There is no appeal process for a Disciplinary Sanction Review.
