You and the Division can generally expect to receive a decision within four to six weeks after the hearing. However, it can take longer depending on the case, for example, if you have filed multiple appeals that are heard by the same panel.
The process of issuing a decision is as follows. Once the ADFG Office receives the draft decision from the panel, the Office will format it; conduct a fact and name check; circulate it to the panel again for their approval (only if there are changes), and, finally, the Office will release the decision to you and the Division and will post it online to the ADFG website because academic appeal decisions are public. It will not contain your name. 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.
