Academically disqualified students may submit an appeal if they have extenuating circumstances surrounding their disqualification. Appeals must demonstrate exceptional, documented circumstances or errors on part of the university. A successful appeal of disqualification will result in the student remaining on academic probation. Note: disqualification appeals are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
