Academic Review Board

Grade Appeal. See the Grading Policy section of the catalog for grade appeal information.

Academic Termination Appeal Procedures: If a student is terminated (i.e., dismissed) or suspended from ECPI for lack of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) or other academic reasons, the student may appeal by following the steps below:

• The student may submit a written petition to the Academic Review Board through the Campus Director of Academic Affairs’ office
• The written petition of appeal must contain verifiable documentation of mitigating circumstances that contributed to poor academic performance and a realistic plan for improvement
• The written petition must be submitted prior to the beginning of the following term if the student wishes to continue without interruption
• The student must appeal within three months of dismissal or all rights of appeal expire. The Committee will meet within two weeks of receiving an appeal and will attempt to accommodate more urgent schedules

The Academic Review Boards will consist of three or more members of campus administration and/or academic staff. Academic Review Boards will consider all the facts of the appeal and will provide a recommendation to the Campus President typically within two business days.

The Campus President will consider the recommendation of the Satisfactory Academic Progress Committee and will typically render the final decision on the petition in writing within two business days. If the petition of appeal is approved, the student will be reinstated on academic probation and provisions of the University’s academic probation policy will apply.
