Following notification of a decision by the Preclinical Promotions Committee or Clinical Promotions Committee, a student may appeal the decision in writing within three working days to the Dean. The Dean makes the final decision on appeals. The Dean may grant an appeal only if a student can demonstrate one of the following:

2. Material information not available to the Committee at the time of its initial decision.
3. Procedural error.

During the appeal process, students must continue to attend classes.
