Students may appeal their academic dismissal to the Admissions and Academic Affairs Committee (AAA). Any appeal of dismissal must be made in writing to AAA according to guidelines established by AAA. The appeal should address any extenuating circumstances that may have impacted academic performance (successes and challenges) and describe how academic goals will be achieved.

Reinstatement appeals are addressed on an as needed basis throughout the academic year.

AAA determines the conditions (including, but not limited to, restrictions on credit hours, coursework, etc.) under which the student may re-enroll, depending on the student’s academic record and appeal documents. Students may request a face-to-face meeting. Students who obtain permission to re-enroll will continue to be on probation until they meet academic standards for grade point average (GPA).

The Reinstatement Sub-committee, composed of 1-2 current members of AAA, the Dean of Students, and directors or their designees from relevant IU East departments will evaluate each appeal, working as a sub-committee of, and instituted by AAA to expedite the appeals process.

This sub-committee will address reinstatement appeals initially to review individual cases. Cases that do not receive unanimous support from the Reinstatement Sub-committee will be brought up before the AAA committee as a whole for a final decision.
