Undergraduate Graduation and Academic Credit Appeals Committee

 

The Undergraduate Graduation and Academic Credit Appeals Committee serves as an appeals committee for students contesting decisions on university requirements such as graduation requirements, academic suspension, and academic credit.  This committee addresses academic matters.  For financial aid consideration, please see the financial aid appeal process.

Membership consists of the chair of each college admissions and credits committee and three students appointed by the Student Government Association (SGA).  The Registrar, Assistant to the Chancellor for Diversity Initiatives, Director of Admissions, and a representative from the Office of Student Affairs will serve as ex-officio, non-voting members.   

Recommendations for individual student appeals concerning university requirements for graduation or academic requirements will be forwarded to the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Research with a copy to the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs. 

This committee usually meets on the 1^st Tuesday of the month at 2:00 p.m.  Contact your college representative for location.  You may view a list of all current representatives on our website at http://chancellor.astate.edu/shared_governance/2009-10_Committees/undergrad_grad_appeals.html.
