Students on academic probation who do not meet academic retention standards are suspended from the university for one semester. On the second (or subsequent) suspension for failure to meet retention standards, the period of suspension is for two semesters or longer. Where extenuating circumstances are established as primary factors relating to low grades, a student may petition to waive the period of suspension. The appeal process is initiated with a written petition which can be obtained in this office. The contact person for the academic appeal process is Ms. Peggy Calkins, 423/439-4210.
