Freshman PASS Appeal FAQ
Freshman PASS Appeal for Future Enrollment form – Word doc
Why do I have to complete this appeal?
In accordance with the Freshman PASS Policy stated in the Academic Regulations section of the Undergraduate Catalog, students who receive a letter grade of “F” (Failing) for the EDUC 1131: Freshman PASS course will be required to appeal to the Director of University Advising and Student Success for future enrollment.
What is the purpose of this appeal?
The purpose of this appeal and the related exercises is to help students reflect upon their educational experience so far and develop action plans for future success.
Where do I turn in the appeal and related exercises when I have them completed?
You can:
- turn in your appeal at the front desk of the University Advising and Student Success Center at 241 Davis Hall
- mail your appeal to the University Advising and Student Success Center, Attn: Dr. Dawn Remmers, UT Arlington Box 19196, Arlington, Texas 76019
- fax your appeal to 817-272-3407 (be sure to put your last name on each page of the attached paperwork)
Will this appeal impact my grade in the EDUC 1131: Freshman PASS course?
No. The failing grade in the course will stand.
What should I do if I have questions about completing the Appeal form?
If you are not sure about how to complete a particular section of the Appeal form, you may contact an academic advisor in the University Advising Center in 241 Davis Hall or email uac@uta.edu.
How long will it take for my enrollment hold to be lifted once I have turned in the appeal form?
Plan on at least 5 business days for the processing of your appeal. We recommend that students check their UT Arlington email account daily during this time, as the Director may be requesting more information or a meeting with you before the enrollment hold is lifted.
Will I be required to meet with the Director of University Advising and Student Success?
Maybe and maybe not. The Director will be reviewing each appeal individually and considering the quality of the work put into the appeal and content of the action plan. If concerns arise, she may request a meeting to discuss your individual situation. If no concerns arise and the quality of the work is acceptable, she will not require a meeting.
Will the information in the appeal be shared with anyone?
Yes. A copy of your appeal and the related exercises will be shared with the academic advising unit of your major department so that you and your academic advisor can continue to review and revise your action plans for academic success.
