Post-Hearing

In circumstances where the reasons for decision are not provided at the time of the hearing, written reasons for decision will be issued at a later date, normally within 90 days, although the reasons may be issued sooner, and in rare occasions may take longer.

Once the panel has signed the decision, the ADFG Office will release the decision to you and the Division. It will be posted online to the ADFG website (it will not contain your name) because names are redacted as per the Code of Behaviour.  The case and the decision will then be reported to the Academic Board.  The case will also be summarized in the case summaries section of the ADFG website.

The following bodies/people will receive either a copy of or a summary of the decision:
