Each student has the right to appeal the residence decision made by the campus within 30 days of notification of a decision on his or her residence.

An appeal is initiated by sending a letter to the Legal Analyst-Residence Matters. In the letter, the student should outline the basis for his or her appeal and include any additional information or documentation that supports the case. The residence deputy is notified of the appeal and forwards a copy of the student's file to the Analyst. A response from the Legal Analyst typically takes six to eight weeks.

Please note that this is the only opportunity for appeal. The burden is on the student to provide clear and convincing evidence of his or her claim and to provide legible copies of relevant documents.

Appeals should be sent to the Legal Analyst-Residence Matters, 1111 Franklin Street, 8th Floor, Oakland, CA 94607-5200.
