PROCEDURE FOR APPEAL OF ACADEMIC SUSPENSION

Students who wish to appeal their academic suspension or re-instatement must comply with the following:

Step 1
Apply for re-entry at the Registrar's Office (105 North Hall) at least 60 days prior to your desired entrance date. Any questions regarding accuracy of the academic records or policies regarding suspension may be referred to the Registrar's Office.

Step 2
Submit a typed letter of appeal to the College for the major you are currently seeking. Contact information is below:

College of Agriculture , Food & Environmental Sciences (CAFES) Dean's Office
210 Agricultural Sciences Building, (715) 425-3535.

College of Arts & Sciences (CAS) Dean's Office
136 Kleinpell Fine Arts Building, (715) 425-3366.

Step 3
Upon submitting your letter of appeal to the College for the major you are currently seeking, contact the Dean's Office regarding setting up an interview. An interview will not be set up until you have applied for re-entry in the Registrar's Office and the Dean's Office has received your letter of appeal. The written letter of appeal must provide evidence of the ability to return to good academic standing. The most acceptable proof of academic preparedness for readmission will be fulfilled when a student completes no fewer than nine semester credits with a 2.500 grade point average at another institution.

You will be provided with written or verbal notification of your acceptance or denial of re-instatement. The written notification will be sent directly to the address listed on your letter of appeal.

The Dean's Office will notify the Registrar's Office regarding the status of your appeal.

If your appeal for re-instatement has been approved by your Academic Dean or Associate Dean, the Registrar's Office will send registration materials to you at the address indicated on the re-entry application. Any outstanding financial holds, transcript requirements or other obligations will be noted on your re-instatement letter. You will not be able to register until all holds have been removed.

Please note that the appeal for financial aid reinstatement is a separate process. Information on this process is available at: http://www.uwrf.edu/financial-assistance/Policies/SAP.html/
