Exceptions due to documented evidence of extraordinary circumstances remain permissible but must not conflict with SB 185 operational constraints.
Warning/Probation/Dismissal: Two weeks after the University notice of academic action of probation or dismissal
Retroactive Withdrawal: Five business days before the start of the academic term
Grade Appeals: Two weeks after posting of final grades
The Academic Appeals Committee will meet as needed per the established schedule:
Monday of the third week after notification of change in academic standings are sent Additional meetings may be convened as necessary.
Meeting priorities may be adjusted based on institutional restructuring timelines and reporting obligations.
Appeals impacting high-demand or limited programs may receive priority review.
Grade changes that impact a student in a program designated in “teach-out” phase must be implemented in the time specified in the “teach-out” period.
Appeals that would place a student into discontinued or suspended programs may be denied or redirected.
Financial aid and institutional repayment obligations will be evaluated in coordination with enhanced financial controls under Senate Bill 185.
Approval of withdrawals must consider institutional financial impact.
