Academic Routine Committee (ARC)

The mission of the Academic Routine Committee (ARC) is to make recommendations regarding appeals of an academic nature for all undergraduate students. ARC also participates in the development of policies and procedures pertaining to classification, certification and graduation of students.

File an Appeal

Before you submit an academic appeal, you should consult with your academic advisor if possible to ensure you understand the process, confirm you are pursuing the correct appeal, and to get connected with the appropriate resources.  Along with meeting with an academic advisor, the Filing an Appeal tab should be read prior to submitting the appeal to get very important information.
