Appeals
An appeal is a request for an exception to an academic policy that is currently in place, that was previously in place, or that is scheduled to take effect in the future. It must be made in writing and accompanied by supporting documentation (submission via e-mail is acceptable). Preferably, your appeal should be typewritten, brief, and concise. Appeals are reviewed by a committee of faculty and administrators at regularly scheduled meetings throughout the year.
The appeal letter should include the following:
- your full registered name, PID number, current address, e-mail address, and a daytime telephone number
- your request, clearly stated and including all pertinent information
- a summary of your reasons for making the request
- any relevant documentation that verifies or supports your request. It is important that you provide all critical documentation in a timely manner.
Please call Credit Programs for Part-time Students for the date and time of the next Distance Learning appeals meeting. Your appeal letter must be received by the Friday prior to the appeal hearing.
Send your appeal letter to:
Credit Programs for Part-Time Students

Written notification will be sent to all applicants after the meeting. Students can also contact the office by calling 919-962-1134 or 800-862-5669 the next day for a verbal decision.
The decision of the committee is final.
