Trespass Warnings and Appeals

About

For the protection of the University community and property and to reduce disruption of the University's activities and functions, it is sometimes necessary to prohibit individuals from entering or remaining upon property owned or leased by the University of Michigan, by issuing a trespass warning.

The Trespass Warning policy is administered in conjunction with the University of Michigan Freedom of Speech and Artistic Expression Policy, SPG 601.1, Violence in the University Community Policy, SPG 601.18 and the Senate Assembly Statement on Academic Freedom, http://www.provost.umich.edu/faculty/handbook/1/1.C.html.

Trespass Appeals

• All individuals issued a trespass warning have the right to appeal the warning in its entirety or in part and shall be informed of that right when the warning is issued. A request for an initial Formal Hearing of a trespass warning may be submitted within seven days from the date the warning was issued.
• The Formal Hearing may be requested electronically, through the "Step 1" icon below, via email with attached and completed Step 1 form, or by US mail.
• The outcome of the Formal Hearing may be appealed within 21 days of the Formal Hearing, through "Step 2" icon below, via email with attached and completed Step 2 form, or by US mail.
