While Illinois College operates according to specific policies established by the faculty and administration, the appeal procedure allows for the orderly suspension or change of policy for cause, or in case of extenuating circumstances. Students may appeal an academic action or seek the change or suspension of an academic policy through written petitions to the Curriculum and Educational Policies Committee with the guidance of their academic advisor.
Appeals related to the Teacher Preparation Program, the Nursing Program, and the Behavioral Health Program may be found in their respective program handbooks. Students have the right to advice from the College community before and during all such proceedings.
Disciplinary actions may be appealed to the Office of Academic Affairs. Detailed information on disciplinary policies and appeal processes can be found in the Student Handbook (Blue Book).
