Academic Grievance and Appeal Process

Dismissal Appeal Process and Reinstatement

Dismissed degree-seeking students are notified in writing and may appeal their dismissal and request reinstatement.

Students should send their appeal to the Academic Progress Committee care of the Office of the Registrar.

Appeals should be in writing, should address the specific circumstances that led to the poor grades, and should provide a clear plan of actions to resolve the issues to return to good academic standing.

The Academic Progress Committee is made up of representatives of offices that can assess students' appeals in a holistic way, taking into account academic, personal. and financial considerations.

Reinstated students are expected to maintain a quarter GPA of 2.0 until their Washington Technology University cumulative GPA is at or above a 2.0, or they will face a subsequent dismissal.

Readmission

Dismissed degree-seeking students who either were denied reinstatement or who did not appeal for reinstatement are eligible to apply for readmission to Washington Technology University after one quarter if they can demonstrate readiness to do college-level work. Demonstration of college-level work involves transferring in 10 quarter credit hours or equivalent of coursework successfully completed at another post-secondary institution.

Students should present copies of a transcript, showing passing grades or better for courses undertaken at another post-secondary institution recognized by WTU.

If readmitted, students returning to Washington Technology University will be placed on probation.
