v. SPCP Grp. VI, LLC, 408 S.W.3d 336, 343 (Mo.Ct.App.2013) (quoting Dunn Indus. Group, Inc. v. City of Sugar Creek, 112 S.W.3d 421, 435-36 (Mo. banc 2003)). In the Complaint, Plaintiff fails to assert that Defendants Deaton, Lucas, and Young agreed to' submit the dispute brought before the student disciplinary panel for arbitration. Without an agreement between the parties, the disciplinary panel’s decision did not establish a decision capable of being vacated pursuant to the Missouri Arbitration Act. Even though the disciplinary proceedings may resemble arbitration, proceedings under the University’s rules do not constitute arbitrations in the absence of a valid agreement to arbitrate the dispute. See. Kritzer v. Curators of Univ. of Missouri, 289 S.W.3d 727, 732-34 (Mo.App.W.D.2009) (<HOLDING>). , Therefore, without a valid arbitration
