Filing an Appeal

Appeal Process

Appeal Submission

Any student wishing to file an academic appeal must submit a  ARC Information Application , and any supporting documentation (if necessary) to the Chair of the Academic Routine Committee no later than 5:00 p.m. on the Friday before regular registration during the semester in which the student wishes to return.

NOTE: Appeals submitted by any individual other than the student will not be considered for review. They will be considered supporting documentation and the appeal will not be heard until such time that an appeal is submitted by the student.

The ARC Information Form and Instructions for Filing an Appeal are available on-line. These forms are also available in the office of the Chair of the Academic Routine Committee in room 117 Young Hall. All appeals may be mailed in to the Chair of the Academic Routine Committee for review.

If a student misses the deadline to appeal for reinstatement for the semester in which the student wishes to return, the student will be notified in writing that they have missed the deadline date for filing an appeal, and their appeal will NOT be reviewed for that semester. Additionally, the student will be forwarded a Returning Student Checklist outlining the steps the student needs to take upon their return to Lincoln after their suspension has been completed.
