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.

Important Appeal Deadlines

• June 13, 2025: Submit by this date to keep your current course schedule and housing contract.
  • After this date, your classes will be dropped and you’ll need to re-register for classes if your appeal is accepted.
• August 22, 2025: Final deadline to submit an appeal for fall.
  • Appeal forms won’t be accepted after this date.

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.
• Final Appeal Decision Deadline: August 29, 2025
  • All meetings and decisions must be complete by this date to return for fall. After this, you may appeal for a future term.

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.
