E. DISCIPLINARY APPEAL SYSTEM
When any discipline is given out, there are appeals that can be made. All appeals must be made in writing on the
back of the violation notice within 48 hours of the delivery (not receipt) of the violation notice. The following guidelines
must be followed and decisions made within these guidelines are final:
1. Appeals for warnings:
Appeals for warnings may be directed to the respective Dorm RA within 48 hours of notification. Note: Neither
the Deans nor the Discipleship Coordinators consider appeals for warnings.
2. Appeals for 1-5 discipline point offenses:
Appeals for 1-5 discipline point violations may be directed to the respective Discipleship Coordinator within 48
hours of notification. Note: The Deans do not consider appeals for offenses fewer than 10 discipline points.
3. Appeals for 10 discipline point offenses:
Appeals for 10 discipline point offenses may be directed to the respective Discipleship Coordinator within 48
hours of notification. If the appeal is denied, an appeal may be made to the respective Dean (men or women)
within 48 hours of the denial.
4. Appeals for 15-50 discipline point offenses:
Appeals for 15 discipline point offenses may be submitted to the appropriate Dean (men or women) within 48
hours of notification. If the appeal is denied, an appeal may be made to the Dean of Students and/ or the
Executive Dean. The decision by the Executive Dean in these cases is final.
F. DISCIPLINE WORK HOURS
Discipline work hours will be scheduled for all students who accumulate enough discipline points. The following is a
description of how the discipline work hours will function:
1. Each Tuesday afternoon, discipline notices for those who will have to work will be placed in the students’ boxes.
2. Once a student has received a discipline notice, he/she has until Friday of that week to see their Discipleship
Coordinator and schedule their hours.
3. When discipline hours and previously approved special permissions conflict, students are expected to work their
hours. Additionally, students who have outstanding work hours will be denied if they apply for any special
permission.
4. In general, discipline work hours occur on Monday only, on which day the student may choose to work beginning
at 9 AM or 2 PM (or both if necessary). For example, if a student’s regularly scheduled service assignment
occurs in the mornings on Monday, he/she would be expected to report at 2 PM instead. However, if a student
has a school required event that prevents them from working on Monday OR if the student worked on Monday
and still owes D-hours, he/she is expected to request to work on other days of the week from their Discipleship
Coordinator.
