<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">Students desiring to appeal a grade or an evaluation of their academic progress which involves academic dismissal or suspension shall be subject to the rules prescribed above with the following exceptions and additions:</p>

     <li style="margin-bottom:15px;">A student who is dismissed or suspended for academic reasons shall be given notice in writing of the dismissal or suspension by the Dean of the college or school involved. The notice shall state the reasons for the action taken and the effective date of the dismissal or suspension.</li>

     <li style="margin-bottom:15px;">If the student desires to appeal a course grade or an evaluation of academic progress which led to the dismissal or suspension, the student shall, within two weeks from receiving the notice from the Dean, file an appeal in writing with the chair of the Academic Review Committee. The appeal should state all facts pertinent to the appeal and should be as specific as possible concerning the students position. If the student wishes to appear personally before the committee, he/she should include a statement to that effect and the committee shall grant such request. In such case, the student shall be given reasonable advance notice of the time and place of hearing. The student may be represented by an advisor of choice who may assist the student but who may not question witnesses or otherwise participate in the proceedings unless the chair of the committee specifically permits. The name of the students advisor shall be supplied to the committee chair at least 24 hours before the hearing. Any expense incurred in securing an advisor will be assumed by the student. The committee shall not be required to grant a hearing at which both the student and faculty member(s) involved are present at the same time.</li>
