Academic Appeal Process

Undergraduate Students

Students dismissed from the university for not earning a 2.0 term GPA while on Scholastic Probation or Academic Dismissal must complete the academic appeal process.

To appeal for reinstatement, you must prepare and submit three documents with your online appeal. Below are the appeal process steps and deadlines for each term you want to be reinstated for:

  Written Statement:  One-page, typed Word doc :

1. • Explanation of circumstances leading to your academic difficulties.
   • Explanation of how the issue(s) have been resolved and what assurance can be given that recurrence can be prevented.
   • Concrete and realistic steps that will be taken to improve academic performance. 
2. Proposed Class Schedule  
   
   • In a Word doc, list the courses you plan to take for the reinstatement term. 
   • * If you have been out for a year or more, please meet with your advisor to make sure your degree plan is up-to-date.
3. Copy of Degree Works: Download a copy of your Degree Works and save it as a PDF.
4. * If applicable, a digital copy of your Unofficial transcript of any recently attended college/university (other than A&M-SA) saved as a PDF. 
5. Save Each Document as a PDF. Save all completed documents as PDFs so you can attach each one to the online appeal form.
6. Complete Online Appeal Form: Begin the online appeal form and attach documents accordingly.

Once you complete the above, please submit the Online Reinstatement Appeal Form. You will be asked to upload all the listed required documentation.

PLEASE NOTE:

• Completing an appeal does not guarantee reinstatement and/or admission to the University.
• Academic Reinstatement Appeal decisions will be communicated via your Jaguar email and/or the email provided on your appeal form.
• Reinstatement Appeal decisions are FINAL.
• It typically takes 3-4 weeks from the submission date to receive appeal decisions.
• The committee does not have access to your Degree Works; therefore, you must attach it to the online appeal form.
• Missing documents will result in automatic appeal denial.
• If you have been out for three consecutive semesters (1 full academic year) or more, you must re-apply to the university via Apply Texas as a returning student. *Returning students get the application fee waived.
