Forms and Applications
Academic Appeal Forms
Academic appeal forms can be downloaded in PDF format or Microsoft Word, or picked up in the Office of the Associate Dean, room 8-265 of the Vertical Campus. Please carefully read the instructions for each type of request.
The Weissman Committee on Academic Standing is based in the Office of the Associate Dean.
These are some of the appeals handled by the committee:
- Request for W in a course or total resignation after the deadline (tenth week of the term)
- Request for reinstatement if dismissed
- Request for an extension to resolve an INC grade
- Curricular adjustments or waivers of academic rules
All requests should be documented with supporting evidence: medical notes, military papers, etc. The filing of an appeal does not guarantee a favorable decision; the committee weighs all the information presented by the student and arrives at a conclusion based upon the application of College rules and the appropriateness of the request.
The student is informed in writing of the committee’s decision. Students do not appear before the committee.
Application (appeal) to the Committee on Academic Standing
Application to take a course Pass/Fail
Only students matriculated in the Weissman School may elect to receive Pass/Fail grades instead of a letter grade in certain courses. Some courses may not be taken with the Pass/Fail option; these are specified in the course descriptions published in the Undergraduate Bulletin. Students wishing to take courses on a pass/fail basis must file their requests with the Center for Advisement and Orientation within the first three weeks of class. Please check the Schedule of Classes for specific dates.
Independent Study Forms
Occasionally students wish to pursue an area of study not covered in the college’s course offerings. A student wishing to enroll in an independent study selects a subject in consultation with a faculty advisor, who acts as his or her supervisor. A full description of the project and its specific goals, as well as a preliminary bibliography, and an account of the means of evaluation (papers, exams, etc.) should be included in the written prospectus. Once approved by the faculty advisor and the department chair, the proposal is submitted to the Office of the Associate Dean for school approval.
The proposal must be filed in the Office of the Associate Dean no later than the following dates during the semester in which the independent study is taken:
Fall October 1
Spring March 1
Summer Last day of the refund period
(Please refer to the Schedule of Classes)
