  Newark Undergraduate Catalog 2022-2024 School of Arts and Sciences-Newark University College–Newark UC-N Academic Policies and Procedures Scholastic Standing Appeal  

Appeal


A student has the right to appeal academic suspension or dismissal on the grounds of technical error (e.g., there were fewer than three consecutive semesters of enrollment with a semester grade-point average below 2.0) or extenuating circumstances (e.g., severe medical problems or family crisis). An error of omission on the part of the college is not sufficient grounds to readmitting a student on appeal if satisfactory progress toward the degree has not been made.

Student appeals must occur in writing within five (5) working days of the date of the letter of dismissal. To appeal an academic suspension or dismissal, a student must fill out the Scholastic Standing Suspension/Dismissal Appeal form stating the specific reasons for the appeal together with any other supportive material that may be relevant to the case, including medical claims. The appeal letter must be submitted to the Scholastic Standing Committee, c/o Office of Academic Services, 312 Hill Hall, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, Newark, NJ 07102. The appeal letter can also be sent electronically to: sasn_advising@newark.rutgers.edu.

Upon review of the appeal letter and supporting documents, the Scholastic Standing Committee may reinstate a suspended or dismissed student. Students are notified in writing of the committee's decision. The decision of the committee constitutes the final authority on these matters. The committee notifies students of the actions it takes on their record in writing.
