Academic Appeals
Academic Dismissal Appeals
If you feel your dismissal was unwarranted, you may appeal your academic dismissal and seek immediate reinstatement to the University (application below). By submitting an appeal you are requesting an exception to University policy. Circumstances that may warrant an exception are:
- One or more of your grades are being changed that will bring your semester or cumulative GPA to 2.0 or higher;
- Completion of an Incomplete grade which will result in a grade that will bring your semester GPA to 2.0 or higher;
- Personal or family emergency;
- Unanticipated, serious medical difficulty (excluding chronic conditions—students are responsible for properly balancing work with known chronic conditions);
- Serious psychological difficulty;
- Issues pertaining to a recently diagnosed disability or other disability-related extenuating circumstances.
