If either the Complainant or the Respondent is not satisfied with the decision following a timely appeal in section above, they may request review by an impartial arbitrator under the Rules of the American Arbitration Association by submitting a request in writing to the Provost of CCA, no later than forty-five (45) calendar days after issuance of the decision following a timely appeal.

The request shall consist of a plain, concise and complete written statement outlining the grounds for disagreement with the outcome and all relevant information to substantiate the basis for doing so.

The Provost of CCA will then decide whether the case is suitable for arbitration; if so, under written agreement between CCA and the party seeking arbitration review, providing as a final and binding alternative to civil litigation, an arbitrator will be mutually selected between the parties, and the costs of the arbitrator’s fees shall be agreed to in writing by an authorized representative of the parties.

Any matter submitted to binding arbitration under this Policy shall be submitted in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Attorneys or advisors of the party’s choice may be present at and participate in the binding arbitration review process. This binding arbitration review process is the exclusive method of external review and is final and binding on both CCA and the student, and the arbitrators’ award shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the parties and may be entered in any state or federal court having jurisdiction.
