Dismissal Appeal Support Appointments
The Stamford Advising Center will be hosting appointments (in person or virtual) to assist students with preparing for the dismissal appeal process. We will help you to understand the appeal process and what you can expect. We are happy to review your appeal to provide critical feedback, but we cannot write the appeal nor guide you on exactly what to say.
Our appointments will begin after final grades post (deadline for final grades: Wednesday, December 18th). While the official Academic Standing Notifications are not sent until Friday, December 27, our team of advisors will be reviewing the final grades for any student on Academic Probation or Subject to Dismissal status and reaching out with more information.

For information and tips on preparing your appeal and a list of the appeal questions, visit the following link: Preparing My Appeal
- Submit your appeal before the deadline of Thursday, January 2nd by 4:00pm. (appeals will NOT accepted after this time)
- Answer questions with as much detail as possible. Take time to reflect and provide thoughtful responses. Be honest and make sure your answers are your own.
- Gather relevant documentation to include with your appeal. This might include:
- Medical documentation
- Letter of support from course instructors and/or advisor
- Have a plan for success in the future. Recognizing and accepting the reasons for your past academic performance are the initial stages of a successful appeal. Next, it’s important that you present your plans for the future. The stronger appeals show that the student is willing to improve their grades by creating strategic plans to tackle the problems and barriers that lead to poor academic performance. Without disclosing your future plans, the committee may be led to believe that you will face the same problems and barriers in future semesters.
