Suspension Appeals

Students academically suspended at the end of the fall term can appeal their suspension. Students who want to appeal their academic suspension should understand that the University does not automatically grant suspension appeals. Generally, the University approves suspension appeals only when the student can sufficiently demonstrate that factors outside their control affected their academic performance and/or the student has demonstrated significant academic progress since falling below the suspension threshold.

Recovering from academic difficulties requires in-depth academic planning and concrete strategies. Therefore, students submitting a suspension appeal must meet with an Academic Advisor in the Highlander Success Center to complete an Academic Improvement Plan [PDF] that outlines specific requirements and available resources designed to improve academic performance. HSC advising appointments are scheduled in the Starfish system, which can be found in .

If you would like to appeal your suspension and discuss your academic options, please use the Starfish system to schedule an appointment with an advisor in the Highlander Success Center now. If you are unable to secure an appointment before the winter break, a鈥�virtual drop-in advising session鈥痺ill be available on鈥�Monday January 6, 2025, from 1-4 p.m. A link to join the virtual waiting room will be provided to eligible students via email. Please review your Radford email for further instructions from HSC Advising. Meeting with an advisor is essential to preparing a sound appeal and planning for future academic success. During your advising appointment, you and the advisor will complete and sign the Academic Improvement Plan. To submit an appeal, your Academic Improvement Plan must be emailed to the Suspension Appeals Committee (appeals@radford.edu) by the deadline of 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, January 8, 2025.

If you do not have an assigned HSC advisor (found at the top of your DegreeAudit) use the chart below to determine which advisor you need to schedule your appointment with in Starfish.

If you need help scheduling an advising appointment or have questions, please reach out to the HSC by phone 540-831-2139 or email hsc@radford.edu. The HSC is located on the 3rd floor of Young Hall - Radford Main Campus and on the 5th floor at 澳门老奇人论坛 at Carilion in Roanoke.

Advisors are here to help and want to meet with you!
