Student Appeals Process

Non-Medical Appeal Procedure

If students wish to appeal for a drop from a course(s) with refund or withdrawal from course(s), they should follow the procedure outlined on the Non-Medical Student Appeals Form. At this time, we encourage all Non-Medical Appeals to be submitted electronically.

The form and documentation are reviewed by a representative from the Office of University Registrar, the Office of Financial Support and Scholarships, and Cashiering and Student Accounts. Students can request a refund or withdraw from the course(s) (receive W grades).

The committee reviews each student’s academic and financial record, as well as any supporting documentation provided.

Items taken into consideration are:

• If current or future financial aid status will be negatively affected
• If the student received a refund from a loan and will owe that amount of money back immediately

The committee decides whether to grant or deny the request. If the committee chooses to grant the request, they have the right to make it a “one-time only” exception.

Notification is sent to the student, Cashiering/Student Accounts, Military and Veteran Services, and the Office of Financial Support and Scholarships, if applicable.
