Appeals to the Academic Policy Committee
Students may appeal to the Academic Policy Committee to ask for exceptions to academic policies. Students should take care in putting together a clear written case that supports the appeal.
To facilitate this process, students should first consult their academic advisors for help with drafting the text of the appeal. Students may also ask for letters of support from faculty members when appropriate. The written appeal and supporting documents should then be sent to the Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs, who will review the appeal for completeness. The Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs may ask for clarification or additional information. The Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs will then take the written appeal to the Academic Policy Committee, which will then vote on the merits of the appeal based on the written evidence.
