Any individual may appeal the assessment, application, calculation, collection, or interpretation of any university fee, charge, deposit, or refund. The University has developed the following processes for an appeal:

Traffic Fines/Citations: Traffic fines and citations may be appealed through a separate process on forms available from the Parking Office, Office of Student Conduct, or the Student Government Association Office.

Residence Life: Appeals related to Residence Life financial matters should be filed first with the Office of Residence Life for review within their process. Decisions of the Office of Residence Life may be appealed in writing to the Office of the Assistant Vice President for Finance.

All Other University Fees/Charges, Refunds, etc.: A written appeal of all other financial matters should be filed first on forms available in the Bursar’s Office, 115 Wilder Tower. Decisions of the Bursar’s Office may be appealed in writing to the Office of the Assistant Vice President for Finance. The Bursar’s Office will forward any appeals that they cannot address to the Office of the Assistant Vice President.

The Office of the Assistant Vice President for Finance will provide a decision in writing of those matters appealed to that office. This decision may be appealed to the University Fee/Refund Appeals Committee. The recommendation of the Committee will be forwarded to the Vice President for Business and Finance for a final decision, which will conclude the University's appeal process.
