Collegewide Academic Chairs

Appeals Information: Role of Chairs and Deans

For details and form links related to academic or administrative appeals coordinated through the academic chair offices, view the student appeals process web page. Formal appeals are coordinated by the Collegewide Chair for the academic discipline that the course or program falls under. Documents can be submitted to the appropriate collegewide chair through the secure, electronic Student Document Dropbox available after logging in to the myÂ鶹ÊÓƵ Portal. Each academic discipline is listed in the "Select Office" dropdown section of the dropbox. View details on using the dropbox.

If a student wants to request a review of the decision made during the the formal appeals process, that is when the discipline's supervising dean would become involved through the review process described in item 3 on the appeals process page. Remember that the informal and formal appeals process begins with the course instructor and academic chair.

Course Overrides

Students may request an override into a specific course because a course is full or for other reasons. Course override exceptions are not the norm at Â鶹ÊÓƵ and alternate options should be discussed with an advisor before taking this route.

Some overrides may not be allowed due to state or institutional guidelines. However, students may ask for override consideration but should understand that approval is at the discretion of both the course instructor and collegewide chair.
