Negotiating a Resolution of the Case
In some cases, it may be possible to resolve the matter through negotiation rather than a formal hearing. This can be a more efficient and less stressful option for the student.

If appropriate, we will negotiate with the school on your behalf to reach a resolution that is in your best interest.
