- Tuesday, May 13th by 4pm: deadline for all instructors to enter final grades
- Tuesday, May 20th: Academic Standing updated and official standing notifications sent to students via UConn email

If you are subject to dismissal at the end of the Spring 2025 semester, what can you do to prepare for the dismissal and appeal process?
1 - Review your Spring 2025 final grades. Students who do not meet the minimum scholastic standards (a 2.0 for both your semester and cumulative GPA) for two consecutive semesters, not including summer and winter intersession, will be subject to dismissal. However, a student who earns a semester GPA of at least 2.3, even if their cumulative GPA is less than 2.0, will not be subject to dismissal, but will remain on Academic Notice for Fall 2025.

3 - The Stamford Campus Advising Center is offering Appeal Support Appointments. Please consider connecting with your Academic Success Advisor. (see below for more information)
4 - Students will be able to submit appeals between May 20th and May 28th at 4 p.m. LATE APPEALS WILL NOT BE REVIEWED. You will receive a link to submit your appeal in the email that includes your updated standing. You may only submit your appeal once and will need to submit on a desktop computer or laptop (preferably not on a cell phone) to ensure that your submission is accepted. Important: If you are subject to dismissal and do not submit an appeal, you will be automatically dismissed from UConn.
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 official Academic Standing Notifications are sent on Tuesday, May 20th. You will be receiving an email from your Academic Success Advisor once notifications are sent with more information.
For information and tips on preparing your appeal and a list of the appeal questions, visit the following link: Dismissal Appeal Process and Deadlines
- Submit your appeal before the deadline of May 28th 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.
