Appeal of Academic Standing

Students who have a legitimate reason for not meeting one or all of the academic standards for satisfactory academic progress, as outlined in the College Catalog, may submit a written appeal to the Vice President of Academic & Student Affairs. Waiver of academic standards may be granted for death of an immediate relative of the student, injury or illness of the student, or other special circumstances. Appropriate documentation must accompany the appeal. If a student’s appeal is successful, then the student is still considered to be maintaining satisfactory progress for enrollment purposes. The Vice President of Academic & Student Affairs will appoint an Appeals Committee to review the appeal and provide a decision. Students will be notified of the outcome in writing within five (5) business days of the committee’s decision. The decision of the appeals committee is final.
