In the event that any party is not satisfied with a decision made by an administrator, he/she has the right to one appeal as follows:
The vice president appropriate to the matter will consider appeals for Student Conflicts, Concerns and Complaints and Classroom Disruptions. Decisions made by a dean in discrimination/harassment cases, will be made to the appropriate vice president/designee of the college. See Step 5, Formal Procedure for Harassment/Discrimination.
Exceptions: Decisions made by the Academic Appeals Board regarding academic misconduct and final grade disputes are final. Decisions made by the Judiciary Review Board regarding Student Code of Conduct issues are final.
An Appeal must be requested in writing no later than 14 calendar days after notification of the previous formal decision. The request should be addressed to the appropriate vice president or provost at Madison Area Technical College, 3550 Anderson St., Madison, WI 53704.
Any party is welcome to consult with Conflict Management Services staff about the appeals process, including assistance with identifying the appropriate vice president to review the appeal.
