Appeals

All academic complaints should be appealed first to the faculty member involved and the department chairperson. Further appeals should be made to the dean of the respective college and the graduate dean; however, according to the Student Handbook, if the complaint is still not resolved by the dean, then the student may appeal to the provost/vice president for academic affairs and ultimately to the University President.

Academic dismissals may be appealed to the Graduate Council. Any such appeal must be made in writing to the dean of The Murphy Graduate School at least 60 days prior to the official registration date for the term in which the student is seeking readmission.
