If you have been Required to Withdraw under Undergraduate Continuance - Policy 92 and seek to register in the upcoming semester, you may appeal your Required to Withdraw status. Your appeal must give special consideration to how you will improve your academic record.
Please note, appeals will only be considered when a situation beyond your control prevented you from meeting the learning outcomes or completing the course. These are circumstances that are unexpected and/or uncontrollable and arise during the semester. Some examples include:
- Documented physical or mental health concerns
- Documented significant illness of a family member for which the student was required to provide caregiving
- Documented evidence of a personal circumstance which significantly hindered the student's ability to be successful, such as the impacts of a natural disaster (including housing insecurity, financial insecurity, ect.), the death of an immediate family or household member, or other
Please note, students placed on RTW status at the end of the Early Summer Session may submit an RTW Appeal at any time; however, submitted appeals will only be reviewed at the end of the Full Summer Session in August.
Students wanting to submit an appeal to return early from RTW status may submit their appeal at any time; these will be reviewed on an ongoing basis.
