Appealing a suspension

Circumstances can make it difficult to comply with M State's Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy. If there are mitigating circumstances (such as a hospitalization, documented medical problems or death of an immediate family member), you can submit a Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal to request permission to return to M State without completing a one-term suspension.  An academic advisor can answer your questions about completing the appeal form. After submission, a committee will review your appeal, and you will be notified of their decision with a letter sent to your M State email account.
