The 国产AV Appeals Committee has the responsibility of rendering decisions concerning students who do not meet the academic requirements for continued enrollment at the University.
To appeal an academic suspension from 国产AV, please complete this online form, attach required documentation, and 'click SUBMIT.'
Suspension appeals must be received by the Suspension Appeals Committee by the published deadlines. The deadline for Spring 2025 appeals will be December 27th at 12pm (Noon). Spring 2025 suspension appeals will be reviewed the week of January 6th. No late appeals will be accepted. Appeals submitted without required documentation will automatically be denied and not reviewed by the committee. Appeals will not be processed after the deadline. While each petition is considered on the merits of that particular case, a student placed on academic suspension should not expect to be readmitted to the University for the semester immediately following the suspension. Only in cases involving extreme extenuating circumstances will be considered by the committee. Even approved appeals come with some conditions (limited number of registration hours, change of major, etc.). The decision of the Suspension Appeals Committee is final. There is not an additional appeal process.
Academic suspension is imposed as a strong indication that the student incurring such suspension should step away from the University, at least for a time, to reconsider the appropriateness of a college career or to make necessary fundamental adjustments in attitudes toward the academic demands of college. To review the academic suspension policy, please visit /academics/academic-affairs/advising/academic-probation-and-suspension.php.
Note: Changing majors may be necessary if the student does not meet all curriculum/degree requirements as stated in the undergraduate catalog. Any change of major must be made well in advance of the registration period, with the advice/consent of both the releasing department (advisor) and the accepting department (advisor).
Submission of required documentation does not guarantee approval of the appeal. The committee takes into consideration not only the severity of the hardship but the full academic history, dates and deadlines, university policy, the relevancy of the documentation.
