The Faculty Comittee on Student Admissions responds to admission appeals. In order to appeal, you must have new and compelling information that was not included with your application.  Appeals must be submitted in written form, will only be considered if they are from the applicant, and must be supported by appropriate documentation from outside sources.  All documentation should be mailed with the letter of appeal to the address listed below.  Any appeal not following these guidelines will not be considered.  You should receive a response to your appeal within three to six weeks after the Office of Admissions has received all of the required information.

The following reasons may be considered:

-    Special  talents or abilities (i.e. artist, musician, actor, athlete). A letter of support must be received from university faculty of staff in such areas as art, athletics,        theater, or music.

-    Physical, mental, learning or emotional disabilities.  Students who are claiming a disability must submit documentation of the disability (medical or psychological) along with their written request for reconsideration.

-    New and compelling information that was not included with the application (i.e. special circumstances, unique situations, etc.)*

*New test scores and/or an updated transcript do not required an appeal.  Please contact the Office of Admissions when submitting the new, updated information.
