Request a hearing before the Graduate Academic Appeals Panel
The Graduate Academic Appeals Panel (GAAP) hears appeals that involve disciplinary actions stemming from disputes over an unauthorized absence determination or final grades; disputes over evaluation of performance on examinations required by the department, intercollegiate faculty or graduate advisory committee; and disputes over probation, suspension, dismissal, or termination from a department, interdisciplinary degree program, and/or college for scholastic deficiency.
Appeals represent an option when a student alleges that an arbitrary, capricious or prejudiced evaluation occurred. Appeals regarding departmental, intercollegiate faculty, or Graduate and Professional School requirements do not qualify for a GAAP hearing. This form should be filed no later than ten (10) university business days after receiving the dean's (or designee's) letter, as specified in Student Rule 59.6.
The act of filing the GAAP Form to Request a Hearing to the Associate Provost for Graduate and Professional Studies represents authorization for all Graduate Academic Appeals Panel members to receive full access to the student’s Appeal Summary File.
