Students who have been academically suspended or administratively withdrawn from the College may appeal to the Academic Standing and Integrity Committee. Appeals should include the Appeal Form and should adhere strictly to the guidelines for writing an appeal letter. Documentation of mitigating circumstances and all transfer credits should be included with the appeal. Appeals are heard monthly and as needed. The Academic Standing and Integrity Committee will meet May 15, 2012; therefore, all appeals must be received by May 14, 2012 to be heard. Appeals received after May 14, 2012 will be heard in August. Notification of appeal decisions is sent via email several days after the Committee meets. A letter is also mailed to the address on file with the College.
