Policy VI.6002.A, Academic Suspension Appeal

Purpose

This policy will inform both San Jacinto College students and transfer students about the right to appeal the academic status of academic suspension. 

Policy

San Jacinto College students on academic suspension who have not completed their term of suspension may request an appeal for immediate reinstatement when extenuating circumstances exist.  Transfer students, who are on academic suspension at a previous institution where the student’s suspension period has not passed, will use the same appeal process as San Jacinto College students on suspension. 

San Jacinto College students and transfer students interested in requesting an appeal of the academic status of academic suspension should complete the Appeal of Suspension form available in the Educational Planning, Counseling & Completion office on each campus. Refer to associated procedures for more specific information related to this policy.

The Authority, Applicability, Sanctions, Exclusions, and Interpretation do not differ from Policy II.2000.A, Policy and Procedures Development, Review, Revision, and Rescission.
