APPEAL PROCESS

Appeals must be filed within one semester from the end of the semester in which the charges were assessed. Your appeal will be carefully reviewed and investigated by the Fines Committee. Decisions made by the committee will be communicated via the Ivy Tech e-mail system. You will normally receive a response within 3 working days. Many appeals will be resolved more quickly, but an appeal often entails a comprehensive search of book stacks and online records over several days.
