Academic Appeal Process
The Registrar’s website contains all information necessary to file an academic appeal: what can be appealed, what documentation is necessary, and a downloadable appeal form.
Appeals will only be considered once all documentation is submitted to your College.
Current term appeals
For undergraduate students, the completed appeal is submitted to the student’s College office and it is sent to the College representative for a decision. The College is determined by the student’s active program for the term being appealed. For graduate students, all appeals are submitted to the Graduate School.
Once a decision is made, the appeal is sent to the Registrar’s Office for processing:
- Approved appeals will be processed by the Registrar’s Office before the student is informed. Notification is sent to the student’s official University of New Orleans email account by the Registrar’s Office once all requested adjustments are made.
- If the appeal is denied, the Registrar’s Office will send notification to the student’s official University of New Orleans email account. This email will include information on how the student may request an explanation of the denial and other options available to them at that time.
Retroactive Appeals (1-year statute of limitations)
For undergraduate students, the completed appeal is submitted to the student’s College office and it is sent to the College representative for a decision. The College is determined by the student’s active program for the term being appealed. For graduate students, all appeals are submitted to the Graduate School.
- If the appeal is denied, the Registrar’s Office will send notification to the student’s official University of New Orleans email account. This email will include information on how the student may request an explanation of the denial and other options available to them at that time.
- If the appeal is approved by the College, the appeal is forwarded to the Committee for Student Retroactive Academic Actions (meets once a month).
- Notification is sent to the student’s official University of New Orleans email account by the Registrar’s Office once all requested adjustments are made.
If approved by the committee, the appeal is sent to the Registrar’s Office for processing before the student is informed.
If denied by the Committee, an email is sent to the student’s UNO email by Academic Affairs
