If extenuating circ*mstances affected your Satisfactory Academic Progress, you can submit a written appeal.
Extenuating Circ*mstances
Sometimes unexpected events in your life can impact your studies. Extenuating circ*mstances include, but are not limited to, these examples:
- Unexpected death
- Major hospitalization
- Extended hospitalization
- Extended medical condition
- House fire
- Victim of a violent crime
In certain circ*mstances, changing majors or pursuing a second degree can also be considered extenuating. Students would want to be sure to include the reasons for changing majors or pursuing the second degree.
Unexpected employment or work issues beyond your control may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Your appeal needs to address and document these extenuating circ*mstances and describe how circ*mstances have changed so that you will be academically successful.
In some circ*mstances, appeals may contain information related to sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, and other forms of sex discrimination. According to Boise State policy, any incident of sexual harassment of any kind, including sexual assault, committed against students must be reported to the University Title IX Coordinator. Any documentation you provide may be submitted to their office.
