Appeal an exchange / learning abroad decision

For a Learning Abroad program, you can appeal if:

• you are unsuccessful in your application,
• you have been suspended, excluded, or withdrawn from the program,
• your OS-Help application has been declined or rejected,
• your grant application has been declined or rejected, or
• you are dissatisfied with a refund decision.

You should submit your application within ten business days from when you received notification your request has been declined or rejected.

Read the University Appeals Policy and Procedure for the criteria and process on how to appeal.

An appeal application will be considered if you can:

• show evidence that there has been a failure to provide procedural fairness in hearing and/or making a decision on your Learning Abroad program application.

Before you submit your request

• You may also want a Student Advocate to assist you or look over your appeal application before applying for an appeal. You can contact a Student Advocate.
