Students who anticipate that they will be unsuccessful in passing their academic performance review (APR) on time or who have been dismissed from the psychology major may appeal to the Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Psychology Department.
Appeals for postponement of APR deadline will require documentation of unusual, extenuating or special circumstances and a clear action plan for completing requirements.
Students who wish to request an exception to Psychology Department Policy because of unusual, extenuating, or special circumstances are invited to submit an appeal explaining the request to the Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Psychology Department.
Appeal forms are available in Room 1107 Bio-Psyc. Building or you can download the form here: (Click here for Appeal Forms in PDF format).
