Students who met the qualifications for admission to the BSN–Fast Flex pathway but were declined or waitlisted may submit a formal Appeal. Students planning to reapply in a future cycle do not need to submit an Appeal.

The School of Nursing BSN–Fast Flex Pathway Admissions Committee reviews all appeals, considering extenuating circumstances such as life events beyond the student’s control that affected their qualifications. Appeals must include:

• A detailed description of the circumstances,
• Supporting documentation (if applicable), and
• A clear explanation connecting the documentation to the reason for the appeal.

An Appeal of Admission Decisions must be submitted within 14 days of receiving the initial admission decision. Appeals should be emailed to BSN-FastFlex@jmu.edu with the subject line “Admission Appeal.” Appeals received after the 14-day deadline will not be considered. Decisions will be issued within three weeks of the appeal deadline and communicated to students by email. 

Guidelines:

• Only one appeal may be submitted per academic term. Decisions are final and not subject to further review.
• Letters of recommendation will not be accepted.
• Applicant errors on the admission application are not grounds for appeal.
• Appeal letters must be written and submitted by the applicant. Letters submitted by others will not be considered.
• Late submission of the BSN–Fast Flex application or supporting documents is not grounds for appeal.
