Appeal Process (for dismissals or extended program actions)

College of Pharmacy-Glendale

Following notification of a decision for dismissal or extended program, a student may appeal, in writing, the decision within 3 working days to the Dean. If the student chooses to appear before the Student Promotion and Graduation Committee, which provides a recommendation to the Dean on the appeal request, this prerogative extends to only the involved student and not to other individuals. The Dean makes the final decision on all appeals. The Dean may grant an appeal only if a student can demonstrate one of the following:

1. Material information not available to the committee at the time of its initial decision;
2. Procedural error; or
3. Bias of one or more committee members.

Students appealing a decision for dismissal or extended program must attend classes while awaiting the outcome of their appeal.
