Non-Engagement Appeal Process
Should a student wish to appeal a decision regarding Week 1 non-engagement, the following procedures must be followed:
1. Initiation of Appeal: The student must submit their appeal in writing to their Student Success Advisor no later than 5 calendar days after the end of Week 1. The appeal should include a detailed explanation of the circumstances and any supporting documentation (e.g., medical records, family emergency notice).
2. Review Process: The Non-Engagement Committee will review the appeal and all supporting documentation. A decision will be rendered within 2 calendar days of receiving the appeal.
3. Readmission Process: Should the appeal be approved, the Student Success Advisor will collaborate with the student and instructor to determine a feasible readmission plan. This plan will include opportunities for the student to make up missed work or catch up on class material. The readmission process will be completed within 7 calendar days of the appeal decision, ensuring the student has sufficient time to reintegrate into the course and make progress.
4. Final Decision: The decision of the Non-Engagement Committee is final and cannot be appealed further. However, students can work with their Student Success Advisor to discuss accommodations (such as extended deadlines or makeup assignments) to support their successful reentry into the course.
