How quickly do I need to act after receiving a notice from Office of Student Life?

Immediately. Creighton University sets strict deadlines for responding to allegations and filing appeals, often 5 to 10 business days from the date of the notice. Missing these windows eliminates procedural options that are otherwise available. Contact AdvocatED as soon as you receive any notice.
