Notification of the SPCC Decision The recommendation of the SPCC will be forwarded, in writing, by the chair to the dean and associate dean of the student’s program. The dean may elect to agree with the committee or adjust the committee’s decision. The student will be notified via the student’s NSU email account and certified mail to the student’s last-known address. If the dean’s decision would result in the student’s dismissal or suspension from the academic program, the student may choose to appeal the decision to the college’s Appeals Committee (see Appeals Committee section) within 10 business days (excluding school holidays and weekends) of the date of the notification. Appeals Committee The Silverman College of Pharmacy Appeals Committee reviews, hears, and evaluates student appeals of suspension and dismissal decisions from all programs in the Silverman College of Pharmacy and, after deliberation, will make a final decision to uphold or overturn the decision. All decisions of the Appeals Committee are final and binding, and no further requests for appeal will be considered. The committee will only review, hear, and evaluate appeals of decisions made by the SPCC in the event that • the student has new, relevant evidence that was not available during the investigation or adjudication and that would substantially alter the outcome of the case • information that the applicable university procedures were not followed, and the deviance would substantially alter the outcome of the case
