Academic Services: Appeals Committee
Paperwork
If after completing the administrative
record change process the student disagrees
with the decision, an appeal may be initiated
provided there is legitimate basis for the
appeal. A general dissatisfaction with a
decision is not a basis for appeal. Factual
information and/or evidence of noncompliance
with policy are the basis upon which the
Appeals Committee can
alter an initial decision. When submitting
an appeal petition, the applicant must provide
additional supporting information and documentation.
This may include information not available or
given at the time of the original petition.
Thoroughness is extremely important to the
appeal process. Be sure all necessary facts
are included as well as all possible sources
of documentation.
The Process
The Admissions & Standards Committee
generally meets weekly on Tuesdays. The Academic
Services Office must receive the appeal form
and all supporting documentation by noon
the Friday preceding the committee meeting.
Failure to meet this deadline may result
in the appeal being reviewed the following
week or at the next Appeals
Committee meeting.
The Outcome
Students will receive notification of the committee's decision promptly by mail
after the meeting or they may stop in the Academic Services Office at Millican Hall 210 with a
photo ID or call us and receive the decision after 1 PM the afternoon of the meeting.
If you have read and understood these rules
and procedures and wish to continue with
this process, email Academic
Services or come into our office in Millican Hall 210 and inform us of your desire
to continue with the petition process.
