At the end of the course, the grade the studentreceived in the repetition of the course is recorded on the transcript; thisgrade is used to recalculate the grade-point average.

If the student fails to achieve thisgoal, the appropriate Dean (Mequon) or Campus Dean (Ann Arbor),in consultation with the Program Director, will review each case todetermine if dismissal is appropriate. Some graduate and professionalprograms have established their own standards and procedures foracademic probation and dismissal, and for an appeal, which takepresence over the aforementioned general procedure.7Appeal ProcessGraduate or professional students who have been dismissed from theirprogram and had their appeal denied by the program may only appealto the Provost's Office if they believe that the program’s appeal processwas not properly followed.
