Academic Suspension and Academic Status Appeals
Students on academic probation who do not meet academic retention standards are suspended from the university for one major term (fall/spring semester).
On the second (or subsequent) suspension for failure to meet retention standards, the period of suspension is two major terms.
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. The online fillable and printable
or saveable form is available here.
The completed application for an academic status appeal can be:
-
- taken to the Dean of Students Office, D. P. Culp Center, RM 391
- faxed to 423-439-6510
- mailed to Dean of Students, P.O.Box 70725, Johnson City, TN 37614-1700
