We’ve seen an increase in students routed through academic appeals with situations (and supporting documentation!) that meet the criteria for an involuntary withdrawal. Please keep a watch for these students and redirect them to the involuntary withdrawal form, instead of the academic appeals form.
Note: As long as the student has supporting documentation, the involuntary withdrawal form will be reviewed regardless of the amount of time passed. Also, students are not required to withdraw from all of their courses. A written statement from the student and a letter from the doctor explaining why they are not able to attend the course is all AEM needs.
If you or your students have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact: Jamie Patel or Titiana Touma.
A withdrawal is considered involuntary if it results from one of the following situations described in the involunatry withdrawal form (posted under Forms on the Admissions page).
