Appeals<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Graduate Appeals Committee meets approximately every three weeks for graduate\/doctoral student appeals. Completed petitions must be received by 12pm (noon) three working days prior to each scheduled meeting to be included in the upcoming appeals meeting. Failure to complete all sections or obtain all signatures will prevent the appeal from being processed.<\/p>\n

If an appeal is granted, the student will be charged a minimum $50 appeal fee. It is the student\u2019s responsibility to check with Student Accounts and Financial Aid (if applicable) to determine how their appeal may affect their account. For requests to waive appeal fees, tuition charges and\/or other fees, the student will need to submit a separate appeal to the Student Accounts office.<\/p>\n
