- If you are submitting an appeal, you are required to do the following:
- Provide the appeals committee with any extenuating circumstances you experienced that impacted your academic standing.
- Schedule an appointment with the Associate Director of Student Success & Retention to develop an education plan. Note: If you are a Running Start student, you need to meet with your Running Start Academic Advisor. Only book an appointment if you have a dismissal hold.
- The plan must outline the courses to be taken and needed to make progress towards degree, certificate, or academic goal completion for the next 3 quarters. Please note that each quarter must not exceed 8 credits.
- The Associate Director of Student Success & Retention must sign the education plan.
