Dismissal
Status
You have been notified you that you have been dismissed from UW-Stout
as a result of your academic performance this past semester and are not
eligible to return next semester. Please review the university policy
for Undergraduate
Probation, Dismissal and Withdrawal.
The links below
explain other university policies that relate to your performance.
You have several options to consider:
- Since you are ineligible to return
for the Fall semester, you may
want to use this time to review and,
if necessary, adjust your priorities,
study skills, career options, your
financial situation, or other personal
matters to help insure success in
your next academic and/or vocational
opportunity.
- While it may have no effect on your academic status or ability to be
fully readmitted to UW-Stout, you are eligible to attend summer school or
WinTerm at UW-Stout to retake previously failed courses and/or to improve
your overall academic record. Currently scheduled WinTerm or summer classes will not be cancelled and you will be responsible for any financial obligations for these credits.
- Although rarely granted, you may appeal the University dismissal
policy if you feel you experienced circumstances so unusual and out of the
ordinary that your academic performance was significantly and temporarily
impacted.
Appeal Process
You are not encouraged to pursue
the appeal process unless you can clearly
document, by external, objective sources
(e.g. newspaper article; physician's
or counselor's statement; court-related
information) an event or situation
that had direct implications on your
academic performance this semester. Only
you, the student, may file an appeal.
Your appeal of academic dismissal
must be made fully in writing and
filed with the Dean of Students Office
by June 20 , 2008.
You may submit your appeal by mail,
fax, or via web site as soon as you
learn your status.
The reasons discussed in your appeal statement must be supported with
dated documentation; this is not returnable but will be held in
confidence. Consideration of your appeal will be possible only after your written
appeal has been received and you have provided the required documentation.
Please follow the steps below:
- As soon as possible, complete the
web based appeal
form to
fully explain the reasons for your
academic performance this semester.
This appeal form MUST BE RECEIVED
by the Dean of Students office ON

- Documentation explaining and/or
supporting the reasons claimed in
your appeal statement must be mailed
or faxed to the Dean of Students
office by

may result in the denial of your appeal.
- You will be informed of your appeal status by your
university email account or you may call the Dean of Students
office within 2 business days after submitting your appeal. Upon
receipt of your appeal form, the Dean of Students Office will review
your appeal and place it in one of the following categories:
- Denial of appeal - student is unable to return for the
following semester. Student may apply for readmission to the
university at a later date. See
policy.
- Interview - student meets with Dean of Students and/or Judicial Officer to provide better insight into your appeal.

after agreeing to certain conditions outlined in an individualized
readmission contract.
- Permission to go before the
Appeal and Credits Committee -

determines readmission or denial
based on the student's personal
appeal and supporting documentation.

you will be notified via email of the date and time for this meeting.
If you have any questions regarding your dismissal status or the appeal
process, please call the Dean of Students office.
