Academic Appeals

When a student is recommended for dismissal, they will receive an official letter from the Committee for Satisfactory Academic Progress and Professional Standards (CAPPS) delivered to their official SGU e-mail address.

The student will be given the opportunity to appeal the decision based on the information in the letter of recommendation for dismissal, within five (5) days of receipt of the letter. After review of the appeal, the Dean of SGS will communicate its decision to the student, by email, within 10 days of receiving the appeal.  During this time the student cannot register for any academic activities.

The student also has the option to withdraw from SGS within five (5) days of receipt of the letter of recommendation for dismissal. Students who choose to withdraw will have their status changed to “Withdrawn” by the Office of the University Registrar.
