Following the SBCC’s review of the relevant information, the SBCC will make a determination regarding the imposition of an involuntary removal. The possible outcome of this process is that the SBCC determines that the student a. may remain at NSU without conditions; or b. may remain at the university with conditions to be described in writing, which, if violated, would cause a re-evaluation of the student’s status; or c. should be placed on an involuntary removal if the student does not elect, or is unable, to drop or withdraw from classes 11. Upon review of the SBCC’s recommendation for removal, the SBCC chair will provide written notice to the student of the final decision of removal and a student’s right to appeal and to request ADA accommodation for the appeal. The review and notice of decision should be completed by the SBCC no later than 30 calendar days after the student’s response deadline to the notice that an involuntary removal is under consideration, noted in paragraph no. 2 above a. If an involuntary removal is imposed, the written notice will set forth the basis for the decision, a time frame for when the student must leave NSU, a time frame for when the student may be eligible to return to NSU, and the conditions/requirements the student will need to satisfy in order to be eligible to return. b. If an involuntary removal is not imposed, the university may impose conditions and/or requirements under which the student is allowed to remain at NSU. c. During a voluntary separation or involuntary removal, a student may be barred from any NSU locations and denied access to classes and classrooms, residence halls, and university events and activities. 12. Within five business days of receiving the decision of the SBCC chair, or designee, the student may submit an appeal, in writing, to the NSU vice president of student affairs, or designee. The written request for appeal must specify the particular substantive and/or procedural basis for the appeal and must be made on grounds other than general dissatisfaction with the decision. The permissible bases for appeal are as follows: a. Improper or inaccurate facts and criteria were brought to bear on the decision. b. New information not previously available to the student may change the outcome of the decisionmaking process. c. Procedural irregularities materially affected the outcome of the matter to the detriment of the student.
