Student Academic Forms

For Students Requesting Additional Attempts at a Course

Course attempt appeals for fall 2024 will close at 5 p.m. on Friday, August 16, 2024. 

A course is considered to have been attempted when a grade is recorded on the transcript. Students who have already completed two or more attempts at a course will be required to meet with their academic adviser and complete a Course Attempt Appeal Form to determine if they will be permitted an additional attempt and what, if any, performance expectations there will be in order to remain in their current major. Some academic units may also count withdrawals as a course attempt. All students who have completed three attempts at a course will be required to submit a course attempt appeal in order to register for that course again.   

The following courses will require students to meet with their adviser, submit a course attempt appeal, and agree to a performance contract after the second attempt:

The student's academic adviser, the dean of the college of the student's major, and the Provost's Office will all separately review the petition with the final decision being made by the Provost's Office. Students will receive an email with that decision from the Provost's Office and may then need to consult with their academic adviser if they are unable to continue in their current major or plan of study.
