Student Appeals How to appeal university decisions made about you

What are Student Appeals?

As a student at La Sierra University, you may appeal a decision made by university faculty or staff that impacts you. Various types of appeals engage different university processes:

Type of Appeal

 Process 

Academic AppealsAcademic decisions made by faculty and academic departments may be appealed, as outlined in the university's Bulletins; appeals are reviewed by faculty, departments and ultimately by deans. See the “Student Academic Appeals” link for details
Financial AppealsFinancial decisions (related to student finance or accounts) should be made to the Office of Financial Administration: [email protected]
Student Life AppealsThe Office of Student Life provides appeal processes for various issues, such as chapel attendance and disciplinary decisions. The Student Handbook provides additional details. 
Student Employment AppealsDecisions regarding student employment should be appealed directly to the university Human Resources Office: [email protected]
Provost Appeals

Provost Appeals are the appeal of last resort. The purpose of such an appeal is: 

  • to request an exception to a decision made by an academic support office
  • to appeal a decision initially made within the Office of the Dean of the College or a School

The Provost Appeal should not be used for financial appeals, Student Life appeals, academic appeals, or student employment appeals, except in cases where all steps in the above-described processes have been completed. See the “Provost Appeal Form” link.
