Special Cases
In special cases where nonresident undergraduate students were misadvised or experienced other situations while earning their bachelor's degree, graduating seniors can submit a one-timeÌýappeal to pay tuitionÌýon a per-credit-hour basis for a maximum of twoÌýclasses. Student fees and other charges do not change.ÌýThis appeal is available once per student and can only be used in the fall or spring (summer undergraduate nonresident tuition is already charged per credit hour). Your academic situation and enrollment must be verified by your academic advisor. Approval of your appeal is not guaranteed.
Required Verification & Documentation
Step 1: Reasons for submitting an appeal are listed below. Documentation supporting your reason must be submitted with the appeal form.Ìý
- If you feel you were misadvised, your academic advisor must provide you with documentation on letterhead. The documentation must verify and explain theÌýerror and the necessity of taking an additional class or classes (maximum of two) beyond four years.
- If you experienced a serious illness, injury or family emergency (death or serious illness of an immediate family member) and had to withdraw or drop classes as a result, you must provideÌýsupporting documentation with dates that correspond with your withdrawal or reduced credit hours from a physician verifying the illness or injury or an obituary.
- If you are experiencing extenuating circumstances that have resulted in needing one or two courses in your last semester as an undergraduate, please provide a thorough explanation and any supporting documentation you have.
Step 2: Get verification from your academic advisor that the class(es)Ìýare required forÌýyour degree.
Step 3: Complete the online and upload all required documentation. Incomplete documentation will result in a delayedÌýdecision.ÌýYou will receive a decision in about two weeks fromÌýthe date you submit the appeal.
