Purpose: The Course Administratively Withdrawal Appeal Form provides a formal process for documenting appeals related to requests to be reinstated after being administratively withdrawn (AW). This form is intended for students who have been administratively withdrawn from their course due to three consecutive weeks of inactivity.

Requirements: The student must submit the appeal by Tuesday at 11:59 pm ET during the week that they were assigned the AW. The student support team will investigate, and a decision will be made no later than noon on Friday.

The student must provide details regarding the circumstances that led to their inactivity and express their plans to remain engaged in the course. Students must include any relevant supporting documentation with their appeal, such as medical notes, communication with the instructor, etc.

Instructions: The appeal will be emailed by studentsupport@excelsior.edu to the instructor and department chair. The instructor and department chair will reply with their decision for approving or denying the appeal. Student support will inform the student and the student's advisor of the decision and record it in SIS. If the appeal is approved, the Office of Registration and Records will be informed to reinstate the student.
