Academic Appeals A student may appeal academic discipline by submitting a formal notice of appeal by email or a hard copy sent to the program director. Academic discipline appeals will be considered on a case-by-case basis by a committee comprised of the MAT program director, clinical education coordinator, one additional program faculty member, an objective clinical preceptor, and one second-year MAT student. The appeal process will be completed within 14 days of receipt of the student's appeal. The student will be notified of the final decision in writing by the program director, which completes the appeal process.
