Admission Denial Appeal

If you wish to appeal a denial, please complete the online form linked below. Be sure to include any supporting information.  We encourage students to attach a letter explaining the reason behind their appeal and why they believe the decision should be reevaluated rather than using the small space provided on the form.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPEALING:

1.You must initiate the appeal within 30 business days of the date of the denial letter.  You can initiate the appeal by contacting the program coordinator indicating your desire to appeal the decision.  We encourage applicants to discuss the reasons for their denial with the program coordinator. After that, you must submit the appeal form.

 2. Please contact the graduate program coordinator or the Graduate School Administrative Coordinator for the names and email address of the graduate program coordinator, department head, college dean, and Associate Provost for Graduate Studies and Research needed for submission in the DocuSign submission portal.

3. Complete and submit the Admission Denial Appeal form.  Be sure to include any supporting information (a letter explaining your circumstances, recommendations, new test scores, etc.) with the form.

4. Each department/college conducts their appeals process differently. The timeline for receiving a decision varies by department and college, but generally each decision maker has 10 business days to submit their decision.
