Court schedules may be adjusted to identify when certain activities are scheduled as priority activities. For example the volleyball net may only be set-up during specified times. Priority use dictates that certain activities may require a specific amount of participants to justify displacing other activities.

The appeal process steps are: 1. The suspended participant must submit an Appeal form to the Campus Recreation director within 2 business days of the initial ruling. 2. The Campus Recreation Professional Team will review the appeal form, the initial ruling, and the sanction. In order to recommend that Campus Recreation reconsider the original decision, the following criteria must be established: o New evidence must be presented that is sufficient enough to alter the decision. o Procedural defects existed that substantially prevented the member from obtaining a fair ruling. o The discipline administered is found to be grossly disproportionate to the violation. 3. All disciplinary decisions are made on a case-by-case basis.
