Academic Appeals
Appeals for students who have been placed on academic suspension are held after fall, spring and summer semesters. Students are notified by an e-mail. The e-mail is sent to the student's SMSU e-mail account, which will contain the letter and instructions on how to appeal. Students should make sure their mailing address listed in E-services is correct. It is the student's responsibility to update their permanent address.
MANDATORY steps in the Appeal Process:
- Schedule an IN-PERSON Appeal or ZOOM (virtual) OR submit a WRITTEN Appeal.
- Complete the electronic questionnaire.
Both steps must be completed BEFORE the deadline, which is usually 12:00 p.m. (noon) the day before appeals are scheduled. Instructions and links are included as a separate document accompanying the suspension letter sent by the Academic Deans' Office. The letter will also indicate if a video appeal via Zoom is an option.
Contact the Academic Deans' Office for further information.
