Graduate Applicant Petition/Appeal Policy:
An applicant who does not meet the Graduate School or the academic
program’s minimum requirements for admission or a student who has been
dismissed from a program may submit a petition for admission to the
Graduate School. The petition form may be obtained from the Graduate
School webpage. The petition should provide a rational as to why the
application or student should be granted admission or readmission.
Applicants contact their graduate program officer for further details.
A copy of the completed petition should be submitted to the Graduate
School. The Graduate School will send the petition to the academic
program for their review and recommendation. The program will then send
the petition to the appropriate college/school petitions committee. After
the return of the petition to the Graduate School, the Dean (Graduate
School) will review the program’s and the petitions committee’s
recommendations. If the program and the college/school petitions
committee recommendation is consistent and the Dean (Graduate School),
concurs with the recommendation, the Graduate School will notify the
student of the admission decision. If there are any unresolved differences
between the Dean (Graduate School), the college/school petitions
committee, and the program, the petition will be referred to the Student
Affairs Committee of the Graduate Council for a final decision.
