Academic Appeal

Meet with your Academic Advisor prior to submitting an academic appeal.

According to the University Student Code (Policy 553), Academic Appeals are accepted for the following: academic actions (including grades), exceptions to graduation, and general education requirements after they’ve reached the Dean level*.

If you are submitting more than one appeal, you must complete a form for each appeal.

Supporting documents should be submitted to: Kylie Biasi, UHB 362A or Kylie.Biasi@utahtech.edu.

*Students must first pursue their appeal through the faculty member (if applicable), Department Chair, and Dean before completing this form. This evidence should be documented in writing (email, letter, etc.) and must be submitted to Kylie Biasi before the committee will review.

Academic Appeals are not for financial aid or for academic integrity issues.
