Every student has the right to appeal an assessment by the university of a fee, fine, charge, debt, or other financial obligation by filing a written petition with the appropriate dean or nonacademic area director stating the student's reasons for challenging the validity of the assessed obligation. The written petition must be filed not more than thirty days after the notice of assessment was sent to the student. The dean or director, or designee, shall review the university's decision to assess the fee, fine, charge, debt, or other financial obligation in light of the student's petition appealing the assessment and shall render a decision thereon which shall be final.
