How do I appeal?

I want to submit an appeal- how do I do it?

If you would like to appeal the dismissal, below are the steps and deadlines you need to meet:

• Visit the DISMISSAL website for detailed information on what must be included in your appeal.  Please make sure to read and address all five items required.

1. An explanation of the extenuating circumstances, such as personal illness/injury, critical family illness or other situations of sufficient severity that they may have adversely affected academic performance. These circumstances must be documented by providing physician statements or other appropriate official documents. 
2. Proof of consistent satisfactory academic performance prior to the occurrence of the circumstances believed to be the cause of the dismissal. These efforts must be documented by course instructors, and their statements must be submitted on university letterhead or sent from each instructor’s Kent State e-mail address. If errors have occurred for one or more reported grades, the course instructor must verify that a grade change has been submitted. 
3. An explanation of why actions such as course withdrawal, complete term withdrawal, request for an incomplete grade, etc., was not taken before the end of the semester. 
4. A detailed plan of action for achieving academic success for any future enrollment at Kent State University. 
5. Your full name, Kent State ID number, current and permanent mailing addresses, current and permanent telephone numbers and Kent State e-mail address. 

• Submit by the deadline listed in your dismissal email.  This is 10 calendar days AFTER final grades have posted on your transcript.
• Submit your appeal via email (from your kent.edu email only), or in writing, to the College/Campus you were dismissed from.  How do you know who that is?
  • It is the college/campus listed in your dismissal email.
  • Check in FlashLine under your student information. (Student/Profile/Show Detail)
