Info

The Provost will consult with the appropriate dean and department chairperson and will establish an Appeal Committee of three faculty members at least two of whom shall be from the department of the faculty member involved, if this is possible. A committee chairperson will be appointed by the Provost. The committee chairperson will notify the faculty member of the appeal and the composition of the committee. The Appeal Committee will hear the student’s complaint, interview the faculty member, and study the evidence presented by both parties. If necessary, the Committee may interview other students or faculty in its efforts to determine the facts. The Committee will make a report to the Provost in which will include a review of the issues and a recommended solution. In most cases, this will be a recommendation to uphold the grade awarded by the instructor or to alter the grade that the student received. In some cases, the recommendation may be to present the student with other alternatives such as the completion of additional work before a final grade is determined. The Provost will review the committee’s recommendation and inform the faculty member and student of his/her decision. Academic Grievances Students having academic grievances should first confer with the instructor involved. The route of appeal is the department chairperson, the dean of the school, and the Provost. Withdrawal from the University Contact: Mark Allen, Ph.D., Dean of Students The procedure for withdrawal from the University for any reason, prior to graduation, is to obtain a withdrawal form from the Office of the Deans of Student Affairs and follow the instructions listed on that form. This withdrawal procedure is designed to: 1. protect students from receipt of inaccurate grades, 2. protect their chance of re-matriculation, and 3. aid in the record-keeping procedures of the University. The University reserves the right to recommend the withdrawal of a student whose mental health or well-being is in a precarious state and who may, therefore, present appreciable risk to him or herself or to others. Such action will be taken only after a thorough evaluation and recommendation by professional medical or psychological personnel and the Dean of Students. 89
Such requested withdrawal must be reviewed with the student and his or her parents. This type of withdrawal is without prejudice and is executed in such a way as to protect the student’s academic record. Readmission to the University may be granted by the above listed personnel after an evaluation that such a return to the University is in the best interest of the student. Any student who has excessive unexcused absences in all courses during the semester, and in the opinion of faculty cannot pass those courses, will be withdrawn from the University. Returning Students Contact: Mark Allen, Ph.D., Dean of Students Readmission to the University is processed by the Office of the Deans of Student Affairs. Appointments with personnel in the Student Affairs Office are necessary to plan the next semester’s course registration and to complete appropriate forms. Any applicant for readmission whose studies were terminated by the Faculty Committee on Academic Standards must receive clearance through that Committee before a decision on readmission can be made. Arrangements for this clearance will be made through the Student Affairs Office during the processing of the application. The Student Affairs Office is located on the second floor of Passan Hall (telephone: (570) 408-4100). Study Abroad Contact: Georgia Costalas, Executive Director of the Center for Global Education & Diversity Study Abroad is an experience that will change your world view and enhance your professional profile, as well as being lots of fun. Wilkes offers a variety of study abroad opportunities. See programs listed at: http://www.wilkes.edu/pages/3331.asp. Send your questions to Georgia.costalas@wilkes.edu, or make an appointment to talk about the possibilities or plan. Steps to prepare to study abroad: • Discuss your study abroad course options with your academic advisor to ensure they will count toward graduation • Contact the Director of Financial Aid to find out how to apply financial Aid to study abroad costs • Pick up, fill out and have your advisor sign a Consortium Agreement Form. Forms may be picked up from the Study Abroad Office or the Registrar’s Office. This ensures your credits will transfer to Wilkes. • Allow yourself 3 to 6 months for the application process 90
