Appealing for Admission to Phase II

Candidates may appeal for admission to Phase II if they have not met certain requirements. Departmental approval must be appealed through the department. Because a candidate appeals does not mean he or she is admitted to Phase II. Appeals are considered on a case-by-case basis by the Secondary Appeals Committee, which is composed of ESU faculty from various academic departments. It acts on each candidate appeal by recommending either “provisional admission granted” or “admission denied.” Candidates whose appeals are approved must meet all requirements before a degree will be awarded.  Candidates may appeal the Committee’s decision to the Associate Dean of the Teachers College.

Appeal Procedure

An appeal consists of 3 elements: a form completed by the candidate, a letter written by the candidate to the Appeals committee, and the candidate’s current transcript.

1. Obtain a form from Dr. Bland (VH206) or online.
2. Complete the form and attach to it a letter stating what requirements are not met and why, and your plan to complete the requirements by the end of the Phase I semester. All remaining requirements must be met before a degree will be awarded.
3. Submit the completed appeal to Dr. Bland.  Contact him regarding the due date.
4. Late appeals will not be considered. Please do your homework and take care of business.
