Continued Enrollment

 

 

 

If you believe there are extenuating circumstances associated with your firstacademic suspension, you may appeal, in writing only, for continued enrollment.

 

If you wish to be considered for continued enrollment, submit a written appeal documenting the reason for your academic deficiency to the associate dean of your major college, or if you are undeclared, to the Associate Dean of General Education. 

 

There is no appeal of second suspensions.

 

Letters should be word processed and include your name and student ID number.

 

Letters should be mailed or hand delivered and must include your signature.  Faxed or e-mailed submissions will not be accepted.

 

If you do not attend summer session, your appeal letter is due by the submission deadline.

 

Appeals from students who do attend summer session should be sent as soon as you complete summer classes and must be received by the submission deadline.

 

You will receive a written response from your Dean concerning your appeal within a few weeks.

 

If your appeal is granted, you will receive a letter listing continued enrollment conditions you must agree to in order to return for fall.

 

Carefully review the stated conditions.  Failure to fulfill all conditions will result in an additional academic suspension.

 

If you opt to agree to the conditions and continue enrollment at JMU, mail or hand deliver the signed and dated letter to the specified office by the deadline stated on the letter.  

 

If your request for continued enrollment is rejected, or if you neglect to send an appeal letter, you will be ineligible to return to JMU for the fall semester and you will be dropped from all fall classes.

 

If your GPA reaches Academic Probation or Good Standing during Summer Session, you do not need to submit a letter of appeal in order to return to JMU for the fall semester.
