Only graduate faculty present at the hearing may vote on the appeal. A majority of voting graduate faculty at the meeting must accept the appeal for it to be successful. Appeals of termination must be filed within 30 days of the student's notification of final termination. If the student does not file a request for appeal within 30 days, the termination will be considered to have been completed. Students requesting reviews of such termination decisions after the 30-day deadline will instead be considered as requesting reinstatement in the program.
Departmental procedures regarding reinstatement are identical to admission procedures.
