Appeals must be filed within 30 days of the action, or incident, or policy under discussion.
Submissions must be made by the student impacted by the decision. Appeals will not be considered if they are submitted by a parent or guardian, or other agent representing the student, unless they have been granted permission by said student.
All supporting documents must included at the time of submission.
Once an Appeal is submitted, it will be reviewed by the UGBE Academic Standards Committee. The Committee may solicit additional information from an instructor(s) and/or from other relevant faculty, staff, departments or agencies as part of its adjudication process. The Committee’s decision will be formally communicated to the appeal applicant's University of Miami email address.
Appeals concerning coursework, assignments or the assignments of grades will not be considered by the Academic Standards Committee. A grade for coursework is at the discretion of the faculty member and therefore must be discussed with the relevant faculty or department chairperson.

Appeals that are granted in response to a student’s physical health or psychological impairment may encounter additional consequences and/or ramifications including but not limited to financial aid assistance, insurance eligibility and/or visa status.
Students who are not satisfied with the Committee’s decision have the right to address their concerns to the University Ombudsperson.
