Academic Suspension Appeal

Appeals are typically considered for:

• Personal or medical issues that impacted your academic performance.
• New evidence or documentation supporting your case or situation.
• Demonstrated readiness and a clear plan to improve your academic standing.

Submit the Suspension Appeal Form and include:

• A detailed explanation of the circumstances leading to your suspension.
• Actions you've taken to address those challenges.
• A realistic plan to meet academic expectations going forward.

Deadlines:

• Submit by June 13, 2025 to keep your course registration and housing contract. After this date, courses already registered for will be dropped.
• No appeals will be accepted after August 22, 2025 (Friday before classes start).

Housing questions? Email reslife@uwrf.edu.

• Check your UWRF email regularly—some students will be invited to meet with a faculty member or the appeals committee.
• Be ready to discuss your appeal and answer questions about your readiness to return.
• Appeal meeting and official decision must be completed by Friday, Aug. 29. After this date, appeals will not be considered for the current term but you can request consideration for the following term.
• If your appeal is successful, make necessary changes to your class schedule.

After your appeal decision:

• Your adviser or academic coach will contact you to set up your Academic Success Plan, which is required each term while on probation or returning from suspension.
• If you're appealing for financial aid, your plan must be completed and received by our Financial Aid Director before aid is disbursed.
