F. Administrative Withdrawal Procedures

(1) Notification. When a condition for administrative withdrawal is met, the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs shall notify the student in writing that they have been administratively withdrawn from one or more courses and that the student has five (5) business days to appeal the administrative withdrawal. During the appeal time period, the student should continue attending classes.

(2) Appeal. To appeal the withdrawal, the student should prepare a written description of the circumstances leading to administrative withdrawal and a justification for overturning the decision. The Academic Standards committee shall determine whether to grant the appeal, deny the appeal, or request more information to fully evaluate the appeal. The Academic Standards committee may consider any evidence of extenuating circumstances and steps the student took to remedy or prevent the situation.

The decision of the Academic Standards committee is final and cannot be appealed.
