Late Add Appeal Letters - Guidelines

In developing your letter of appeal to the Associate Dean for approval to add a course after the published deadline, you will need to provide detailed and specific information regarding your request. Please use the following outline when developing your appeal:

1. WHY do you need to add the course after the published deadline? This is probably the most important information needed.
   
   • Provide detailed background information. 
   • Do not use this letter to blame others for the situation – take responsibility for the circumstances in which you find yourself.
   • It is assumed that you will be honest. If you made some mistakes, admit it and accept responsibility.
2. What steps will you take to ensure that the need for this type of an exception won’t be necessary in the future? Demonstrate your knowledge of the policies surrounding registration.
3. Supporting Documentation.  If applicable, supply:
   • copies of any supporting documentation, such as doctor's notes, accident reports, etc.
   • letters of support from faculty, either your advisor or another faculty member who can vouch for the circumstances surrounding this request.
4. Demonstrate that the late add will not negatively affect your ability to keep pace with the course requirements. How do you plan to make up the missed work?

If approved, YOU MUST submit the paperwork to the Records Office no later than 7 days after approval date. NO EXCEPTIONS will be made.
