Petitions and Appeals
Students maintain the right to petition the Committee on Academic Policies and Procedures for any variance from standard ELOTD Program Policy or Procedure.
Petitions
Petitions should be submitted to the Committee on Academic Policies and Procedures through the student’s academic advisor. Petitions should be submitted in the form of a letter addressed to the student’s academic advisor or the Committee on Academic Policies and Procedures. Petitions should include the specific request, a complete explanation of why the request is being made and must include supporting documentation to justify why the petition should be granted. Petition letters attached to Institute emails are acceptable.
Approval of Petitions
All petitions will be processed by and must be approved by majority vote of the Committee on Academic Policies and Procedures. The Chair of the Committee will inform the student in writing of the outcome of the petition process.
School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences Appeals Policy
Students in the ELOTD program have access to an appeal process at the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences level. The below text outlines the SHRS Appeals Policy.
Students who believe that the procedures, facts, or policies have been misinterpreted or that the decision was made arbitrarily may initiate an appeal after receiving an unfavorable response to their petition from the program (see Institute Catalog Dismissal Appeal Policy). If you wish to initiate an appeal, you will need to submit a request in writing to shrsdean@mghihp.edu within ten (10) business days of written notice of the program decision.
