Students are encouraged to seek assistance for any type of concern or problem from an appropriate department Director or Campus President. The various Directors and Campus Presidents are identified with contact information in the administration rosters in this document.
Appeal for re‑enrollment following termination for academic or attendance reasons: An appeal must be submitted in writing thoroughly explaining why the student feels he or she should be approved for re‑enrollment. If the termination was due to failure to meet Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP), the appeal letter must include details on why the student failed to maintain SAP (mitigating circumstances), what has changed in the student’s situation that will allow him or her to demonstrate SAP by the next checkpoint, and how and why the student feels he or she would be successful if permitted to re‑enroll. The student must also provide any supporting documentation regarding the mitigating circumstances (e.g., doctor’s note for medical condition) leading up to the failure to meet SAP. See the SAP policy for additional details.
An Appeals Committee will consist of at least three of the following administrators or their designees: Campus President, Director of Student Services, Director of Financial Aid, Director of Career Services, or Education Director.
Appeals received with complete supporting documentation will be reviewed within seven business days by the Appeals Committee. Students will be notified in writing, in person or via telephone of the committee’s decision. If a student is approved for re‑enrollment by the Appeals Committee and later decides to re‑enroll at another campus, another appeal hearing generally is not required. Students are protected from retribution under the harassment policy listed in this document.
Extenuating circumstances for appeals: A student has the right to appeal the decision to suspend or terminate his or her training based on a SAP violation and the loss of financial aid eligibility where extenuating circumstances have affected the student’s progress in school. If a student is deemed unable to meet MTF requirements by graduation, his or her enrollment will be terminated. Students may appeal this decision and/or may appeal to request re‑enrollment. Extenuating circumstances include, but are not limited to, death in the family, serious illness or an accident involving the student and/ or immediate family member. A student is encouraged to submit an appeal by 5:00 p.m. on the following school day. An appeal must be submitted in writing to Student Services and thoroughly explain why the student feels the decision to suspend or terminate training should be changed. If appealed immediately, the student may, at the discretion of the Director of Student Services or designee, be allowed to remain in class until the Appeals Committee has reviewed the appeal. If the immediate appeal is successful, the student will be placed on a minimum two‑course probationary period and remain eligible for financial aid.
Note: Students terminated for disciplinary reasons must follow steps outlined in the Petition for Re‑enrollment Following Termination section of the Code of Conduct published in the Course Catalog.
Note: Additional information related to SAP standards can be found in the Academic Standing and Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy section.
