To have your Academic Dismissal Appeal reviewed, please fill out the form provided below. Upon submission, you will receive a confirmation email. The confirmation, and any additional correspondence, will be sent to your ESU student email address. You may only appeal your dismissal once during your academic career at ESU. Any appeal made after your first attempt will not be accepted. 

For your appeal to be considered, you must submit a personal statement and a letter of support from a faculty or staff member at ESU. You are also welcomed to submit any additional supporting documents that you feel may be significant to your appeal. If you appeal does not contain a personal statement and a letter of support, it will not be considered and your appeal will not be accepted. 

Your personal statement must contain the information listed below: 

  • What is your major, and why did you decide on this major? Do you plan to change your major if reinstated to ESU?
  • To what do you attribute your past positive academic performance? What went well?
  • To what do you attribute your past negative academic performance? What did not go well?
  • Why do you feel that your academic performance will improve if reinstated to ESU? 
  • What steps/actions will you begin to take, or continue to take, to enhance and improve your academic performance if reinstated to ESU?
