STUDENT APPEALS FOR CREDITING NON-CURRICULA COURSES

During the registration period, all appeal letters must be printed and require a wet signature.

​

The steps to filing appeals to credit courses outside your curriculum are as follows:

​

1. Write the Appeal Letter

   • ​​The student writes an appeal letter addressed to the University Registrar. The appeal letter should include the following: 

     • Specify semester and academic year when the course was taken

     • Detailed reason for appeal

     • Specify the course number, course title, department, and college in which the course was offered and the course to be credited

     • Name of faculty in charge of the course

   • Attach proof from the instructor of the course to support the appeal, or the instructor may affix their signature in the student's letter. Make sure to attach a copy of the course syllabus. The department may ask for more documents if needed. 
      

2. Submit to Program Adviser

   • The student submits the appeal letter to their program adviser, who reviews, signs, and endorses the letter to the program head.
      

3. Program Head Review

   • The program head reviews the appeal. If deemed satisfactory, the letter is forwarded to the Academic Affairs Coordinator.
      

4. Academic Affairs Coordinator and Chairperson Review

   • The Academic Affairs coordinator reviews the appeal and forwards the letter to the Administrative Officer for the Chairperson’s signature. 
      

5. Notification of Result

   • The ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER informs the student if the letter is ready for pick-up.
      

6. Submission to the CAL Secretary’s Office
