Advising Forms and Resources

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 (PDF). Students must appeal at each academic level and acquire a resolved decision before moving to the next level of appeal.

If you're placed on academic probation, continued probation or suspension, you're required to follow university policy 6.4 (PDF). It's your responsibility to communicate this status with your academic advisor immediately. More information is available on the registrar's website.

Extenuating circumstances: The Suspension Academic Appeal Form (PDF) 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.

• Degree plan request (PDF)

If your GPA falls below 3.0, you'll be placed on either academic probation or suspension. If this occurs, you'll be notified by the James I. Perkins College of Education graduate studies coordinator. You must meet with your program coordinator to discuss the next steps.
