Axe ’Em, Jacks!
Appealing your final grade
If you're wanting to appeal your final grade, first read the Office of the Registrar's website regarding the formal process of appealing your final course grade.
Once you are familiar with this university policy, complete the Academic Decision Appeal Form (dynamic form). Students must appeal at each academic level and acquire a resolved decision before moving to the next level of appeal.
Academic standing: Probation or suspension
If you're placed on academic probation, continued probation or suspension, it's your responsibility to communicate this status with your academic advisor immediately. Learn more about what this means.
Extenuating circumstances: The Academic Suspension Appeal (dynamic form) is available to undergraduate students in the James I. Perkins College of Education with a documented extenuating circumstance in the previous academic term that resulted in academic suspension.
