Appeals of Admission and Retention Decisions

Appeals of Admission and Retention Decisions

A formal appeal of a decision to deny admission or retention in the Yearlong Clinical Experience (YCE), or Teacher Education may be made to the Office of the Dean Teacher Education Appeals Committee. Instructions for such appeals are available in the Office of the Dean of the Bagwell College of Education. An appeal must be based on exceptional and extenuating circumstances and/or other pertinent information not previously available or considered. 

A formal appeal must be submitted in writing to the Dean of the Bagwell College of Education within 30 days of being notified of admission or retention status. In all cases, the candidate may initiate an appeal after seeking resolution with the appropriate degree program’s Admissions and Academic Standing Committee or department chair or both. 

The Office of the Dean Teacher Education Appeals Committee will provide a decision within 30 days of receiving the appeal. The decision of the Dean of the Bagwell College of Education is final.
