NOTE: If you were recently denied undergraduate admission to UCF and are seeking to appeal that denied admission decision, contact Undergraduate Admissions for more information.
The appeals process outlined here only applies to decisions made by Academic Services on late drop, late withdrawal, and medical withdrawal petitions. Under university rules, you may appeal the denial of such a petition to the Admissions and Standards Committee, provided there is a legitimate reason for the appeal. A general dissatisfaction with the decision is not adequate grounds for an appeal. You must submit new information and/or additional supporting documentation not originally included with your initial petition to the committee for consideration. Thoroughness is extremely important to the appeal process.
The Admissions and Standards Committee generally meets every other week to review student appeals. The Office of Undergraduate Studies must receive completed appeal paperwork no later than thirty (30) days from your initial petition denial. The Admissions and Standards committee will conduct a preliminary evaluation of the request to determine if there is a basis for an appeal. You will be notified of the outcome within a week. If the committee decides that new information or additional supporting documentation is not relevant, your appeal will be rejected. If there is a basis for an appeal, you have the option to appear before the committee at the next meeting. The committee will notify you of its decision by email following the meeting.
