CSD Academic Appeal Policy and Procedures

1. According to the Baylor Catalog, students who believe they have individual circumstances warranting an exception to these grade minimums and failure policies may appeal to the Undergraduate Program Director.
2. A student who wishes to appeal must fill out this form and submit the appeal to the CSD Department during the time-frame specified at the bottom of your notification letter. The appeal will be reviewed by the CSD Undergraduate Program Director and/or Appeals Committee and you will be notified of the result by email.
3. A student who earns a D or F in a CSD course may repeat the course. However, a student earning a second D or F in the same course, or in a subsequent CSD course, will not be eligible to continue in the CSD major.
