The student may appeal any decision of the Dean to the office of Student Services. The Dean will investigate the appeal and within 10 working days host a meeting of the parties involved facilitating resolution of the complaint. 

The Dean will notify the student and the Director of Disability Services of the resolution of the complaint within 10 days of this meeting. The Dean shall have the final decision regarding resolution of the complaint.
