Appeal Questions

Please address the following questions and note that your answers are limited to 200 words per section.


  1. If you have documentation to support your statements please mention this in your answers. You should not submit this documentation with your statement rather bring the supporting materials to your appointment. Examples of supporting documentation include:

    • * Letter(s) of support from any medical or mental health professional(s) whose care the student has been under for the issues affecting their academic performance. Please note that a letter that simply states the student was seen by a professional will, in most cases, be insufficient to merit readmission. The letter should verify the circumstances surrounding the student's care.
    • * A copy of a death certificate or funeral program to document the death of a family member or friend.






Penalty for knowingly making false or misleading statements

Students should be certain to make factual statements and cite actual documentation in their statement. Penalties will be assessed for students who are found to have made false or misleading statements. Students may be automatically denied a hearing or have their readmission revoked as a penalty imposed by L&S. Additional penalties may include sanctions imposed by the Dean of Students for misrepresentation, which is a form of academic misconduct.
