Academic Appeals
A student who has been academically dismissed from FLCC may appeal the dismissal if extenuating circumstances contributed to this dismissal (including, but not limited to; illness, injury, medical reasons, etc.). To begin the Academic Appeal process, the student must complete an Academic Dismissal Appeal. Academic Dismissal Appeal forms are available online at
https://flcc.formstack.com/forms/dismissal. Students are strongly encouraged to meet with a staff member in the Office of Academic Advising, Career and Transfer Services to review the Academic Appeal process. The appeal and any supporting documentation must be returned to the AVP of Instruction or Student Affairs by the stated deadline. The Committee on Academic Standing will review and act on the appeal. The Committee on Academic Standing is comprised of faculty members, representatives from the Office of Academic Advising, Career and Transfer Services, Financial Aid Office, Student Accounts, and Community Standards and Counseling. Appeals are reviewed by the Committee on Academic Standing and/or AVP of Instruction or Student Affairs on a periodic basis throughout the academic year. The Committee on Academic Standing is the final authority on appeals of academic dismissal. Students will be notified in writing or via e-mail regarding the outcome of their appeal. Students may contact the AVP of Instruction or Student Affairs with any questions regarding the Academic Appeal process at 585.785.1284.
