An Academic Suspension may be appealed, however, it must be done by the deadline noted on the Academic Calendar each semester. To appeal a suspension, the student is required to prepare a clearly written statement describing the circumstances leading to suspension and the student’s plan for success in future semesters.
Documentation to support the appeal, such as a letter from a physician, obituary notice, etc. must accompany the written statement. The appeal will be reviewed by the Appeals Committee. The student will be notified in writing of the committee’s decision. The decision of the committee is final.
