Probation Appeals

A student who has been put on probation may appeal via the following process:

  • Within four weeks of being notified of the probation, a student who wishes to appeal must write a letter requesting a reconsideration of the dismissal, giving all pertinent facts and explaining any extenuating circumstances. The letter should be addressed to the Head of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. The Head of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering will review this appeal and will render a decision within five working days. If the decision is in favor of the student, the Head of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering will recommend to the Graduate Committee that the student’s probation  be rescinded.
  • If the student is dissatisfied with the decision of the Department Head, the student may appeal in writing to the Dean of the College of Engineering, according to the Graduate Studies Bulletin.
  • If this appeal is unsuccessful, the student may then appeal to the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs.
