Petitions, Appeals & Grievances
Graduate Student Academic Appeals
Appeals by graduate students seeking waivers from established University academic policies such as admission, retention, or graduation requirements must be made in writing by the student. Student appeals must include a letter from the student as well as approvals (signature and/or letter) from the advisor and department head prior to submission to the Division of Graduate Education. In instances where the advisor and/or department head choose not to endorse the request, this must be noted and the student may then forward the appeal directly to the Division of Graduate Education.
The Graduate Vice Provost will either act on the matter or refer it to the Graduate Student Academic Appeals Board (GSAAB) for action. Decisions by the Graduate Vice Provost may be appealed in writing to the GSAAB. Appeals from non-degree students seeking admission to the Division of Graduate Education may also be presented to the Board.
Academic Appeal Process
Students may appeal an academic policy or decision by following this process:
1. State in writing, the policy or decision that is being appealed;
2. Note the reasons you believe the decision should be changed or policy be waived;
3. Include your advisors and department head's approval statements or signatures with the appeal.
