Introduction to Appeals

The college will accept an appeal of college policies to assist students who have experienced an extraordinary set of circumstances.

Extraordinary circumstances are limited to a serious illness/prolonged hospitalization, death of an immediate family member, an extreme unforeseen emergency, or non-voluntary military activation.

In order to file an appeal, it is important for a student to follow the Appeals Process very carefully.

Appeals can be made for the following situations:
