Regulation 9

A student who has been expelled from the Polytechnic under regulation 6(7) may appeal to the Board in writing within 14 days after being notified of the expulsion, stating the grounds of appeal.

The Board must appoint an appeal committee comprising any 3 members of the Board to consider an appeal made under this regulation.

After giving the student a reasonable opportunity of being heard, and after considering any report of the student disciplinary committee, the appeal committee may confirm or quash the order of expulsion made by the Principal.

If the appeal committee quashes the order of expulsion, the appeal committee may direct the student disciplinary committee to impose on the student any other disciplinary measure specified in regulation 6(6)(b) that the appeal committee considers appropriate.

Pending a decision on any appeal made under this regulation, the student must comply with the order of expulsion against which the appeal is made.

Any decision made by the appeal committee on an appeal by a student under this regulation is final.
