A student suspended for 2 or more academic years must submit an application for readmission. Students who are reinstated are readmitted on probation. A student who has been suspended for a third time may not re-enroll at Murray State.

Appeals

Undergraduate

Academic Second Chance (ASC) is an appeal procedure for an undergraduate student to request academic forgiveness for their courses. It applies to a single semester or series of semesters within which a student earned grades lower than a C. If approved, those terms would be excluded when calculating the student鈥檚 grade point average. No courses taken during the semesters approved for ASC would apply toward requirements for a degree.

A student who wishes to petition for ASC must have been separated from all institutions of higher learning for a minimum of two consecutive calendar years. If a student withdrew from a semester and the withdrawal appears on their transcript, the student is considered 鈥渆nrolled鈥 during that term.

An  may be submitted by an enrolled student after the student has reentered Murray State University and has earned a minimum of 12 new degree credit hours at Murray State University with a minimum GPA of 2.50 on all hours since re-enrolling. ASC requests are only valid for the student鈥檚 first baccalaureate degree. The ASC request form must be submitted to the Office of the Registrar, specifying the terms for which ASC is requested.

ASC courses remain a part of the transcript with a notation that academic second chance has been applied and that grades are not included in GPA calculations. If a course excluded by ASC was used as a repeat of an earlier course, the original course which had been excluded from grade point average consideration due to the repeat policy will be added back into the GPA as though it had never been repeated.

The new GPA is the official GPA of the university. Students need to be aware that some schools, agencies, academic areas, organizations and scholarship programs may not recognize or allow ASC. ASC may be declared only once and may not be revoked. 

Graduate

Graduate students may request Academic Second Chance (ASC) through their advisor by submitting the and a justification letter that includes details about the extenuating circumstances that caused hardship during the term(s) for which ASC is requested, as well as identification of specific terms for ASC. Academic Second Chance must be approved by the program director, department chair (where applicable), collegiate graduate coordinator or academic dean and the university graduate coordinator.

A student who has been academically suspended or dismissed from the university and feels it was due to circumstances beyond their control may appeal in writing to the Registrar for special consideration. The student鈥檚 request will be forwarded to the Academic Appeals Committee for consideration. This committee is composed of two student members, a Student Affairs representative and one faculty member from each of the academic colleges/schools. The committee reviews each case and makes decisions based on information provided to them by the student or other individuals. The student may be present for the hearing or may present his case in writing only. The student comes before the committee alone. Guests are not able to speak or be present.

A , with attached documentation, is to be submitted to the Office of the Registrar by Noon on the listed deadline date. After three (3) suspensions, a student is not eligible to return to Murray State.

Academic Appeal FAQ

Q. Do I have to be present at the hearing?

A. No. You have the right to be present at the hearing, but you are not required to attend. You can submit everything you want the committee to know and they will base their decision on that information plus any additional information supplied by the Office of the Registrar. It is to your advantage to attend the meeting so that you may provide additional information and answer any questions, if necessary.

Q. When and where are the meetings held?

A. The meetings are normally held the week before the semester begins. Once a meeting has been scheduled, you will be notified of the date, time and location.

Q. What kind of documentation do I need?

A. You may provide any information that you feel will be relevant to your case. For example, if your grades are low due to frequent absences, you may wish to provide additional information regarding the reason for your absences. 

Q. If I submit an appeal for the May hearing and it is denied, can I submit another appeal for the August hearing?

A. No, students appealing for reinstatement for the fall term can choose to go before the committee in May or August, but not both.

澳门开奖结果 recognizes that differences of opinion or interpretation may arise between students and faculty members regarding the assignment of course grades. The university urges the student to first seek resolution through informal discussion with the appropriate faculty member. It should be noted that situations involving academic misconduct should be directed to the University Judicial Board.

The student initiates a meeting with the instructor of the class. The meeting must take place within the first twenty (20) days of the semester immediately following the term during which the incident of grievance is alleged to have occurred, exclusive of summer session.

If the matter is not resolved satisfactorily at the instructor level, meetings with the chair and dean must follow within ten (10) days of the initial discussion with the instructor. At the time of each meeting, the instructor, chair and dean must sign and date the grade appeal form.

Once all means of informal resolution on the collegiate level have been exhausted the student must submit a completed grade appeal form with supporting documentation to the Office of the Registrar within fifteen (15) days of the initial discussion with the instructor if the matter is not resolved satisfactorily.

The chair of the Academic Appeals Board shall convene that committee within twenty (20) days of the receipt of the grade ap颅peal form and supporting documentation. The Appeals Board will hear the appeal from both the student and the instructor, separately. The Board will forward a recommendation to approve or deny the appeal to the Provost. A final decision is made by the Provost and will be sent to the appropriate academic dean, the student and the instructor, within ten (10) days of the completion of the hearing, unless notified otherwise. The text of the recommendation and all pertinent testimony and gathered data shall be kept in confidence.

NOTE: If at any point in this process, the student alleges that actions have taken place that may be in violation of the 澳门开奖结果 Non-Discrimination policy, this process must be suspended and the matter directed to the Office of Institutional Diversity, Equity and Access.

Under no circumstances will an appeal of a grade be accepted after one year from the end of the semester in which the grade was received. For the full policy, go to the current University Bulletin.
