Processing General Education Course Substitution Appeals

Processing General Education Course Substitution Appeals

Gen Ed Appeals are still being processed in one of two ways:

1)      DSS Gen Ed Appeals:  For appeals based on the presence of a documented disability (for example, a mathematics appeal), students should fill out the DSS Gen Ed Appeal form with help from a DSS counselor who will verify that documentation exists to support the appeal.  DSS Counselor Sue Haddad @ Rockville coordinates these appeals – she has access to the DSS Appeal Form Based on the Presence of a Disability and will consult with you if you have questions.  Completed forms require the signature of a DSS counselor, a department chair when appropriate, and are then forwarded to Sue.  A Gen Ed Appeals Subgroup decides upon each appeal by e-mail, so there is not a distinct deadline per semester, but earlier submissions are best BEFORE or early during the semester that the student hopes to graduate.

2)      Appeals for all other General Education Course Requirements (Foundation & Distributions) are to be completed by the student, signed by a Department Chair, next signed by a counselor, and then forwarded to Anne Schleicher at the Germantown Campus.  As a designee of Dr. Sanjay Rai, I review appeals, check for a historical precedence, and make a recommendation if appropriate before sending them on to Dr. Rai for approval.  If you have a question about whether an appeal has been granted previously / seems possible / or other questions, please contact me to discuss.

See the General Education Course Appeal Form here, and find it always by searching for “General Education Appeal Form” on the MC Home Page.  http://cms.montgomerycollege.edu/uploadedFiles/EDU/Departments_-_Academic/General_Education_Program/General_Education_Subpages/GenEdAppealForm.pdf
