Appeal Process Against Dismissal
A student who has been academically dismissed from the University may appeal the decision. That appeal should include explanatory information and any new evidence not previously considered by the Committee on Admissions and Academic Standards. It must be in writing, addressed to the Chair of the Committee, and submitted within two weeks of the date on the notification of dismissal. A student will not be allowed to register for regular or summer session courses while an appeal is in progress. Where an appeal is submitted, the Chair of the Committee will review the student’s academic record, taking into account any relevant material contained in the letter of appeal and make a further recommendation to the Dean of Academic Affairs or his/her delegate. The decision of the Dean of Academic Affairs based upon this final recommendation will be binding.
