Spring 2025 Readmission Timeline for Students Needing Academic Appeals

This timeline is for students who were not enrolled at NCCU during Fall 2024 or prior who wish to return in Spring 2025.

The Readmission Academic Appeals request should be completed by the student and is then forwarded to the Academic Appeals Review Committee (AARC). Please allow 3–4 weeks from the time of submitting an appeal to receive a decision.

Students will be notified via email about their Readmission Academic Appeal decision. If denied, students can apply for readmission for a future term for consideration.

Students who do not meet the University’s SAP requirements may lose their eligibility to receive federal, state and institutional financial aid.

If you have lost your financial aid eligibility, you will be required to submit a Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) appeal.

A SAP appeal is independent from any review of your academic record conducted by various academic departments.
