Appeals Procedure for Reinstatement in School of Health & Environment

Students who have been denied continuance in their majors, or students who have been dismissed from a major for non-academic reasons concerning a lack of professionalism, emotional and/or physical health, may submit a written petition, in response to the letter of notification received, to the appropriate professional review committee for re-evaluation of their transcripts for the purpose of reinstatement on probation. This petition must be received no later than the date specified in the letter of notification and may be submitted only once. In making recommendation for reinstatement, the professional review committee may recommend to the faculty specific requirements which students must satisfy as a condition of their reinstatement. The faculty will vote to accept or reject the request for reinstatement and will forward to the department chairperson and the Dean its recommendations together with a statement of requirements which reinstated students must satisfy as a special condition of their reinstatement and continued matriculation. Students who are dismissed a second time may not petition again for reinstatement. Students who are dismissed from their major for academic reasons may obtain undeclared health status for one semester while deciding on a new major.
