Students who do not meet the University's FUSS regulation regarding academic standing may be placed on academic suspension or dismissal. If suspended or dismissed, you will be dropped from your courses for the next term and will no longer be considered an enrolled NCCU student.
If your suspension or dismissal occurred under extraordinary circumstances, you may file an academic appeal for consideration of academic reinstatement.
The FUSS policy monitors the academic progress of our undergraduate students and determines eligibility for continued enrollment based on GPA and course completion percentage.
Academic appeals must be submitted by the corresponding deadlines found here. After a review of your academic appeal submission, a decision will be made regarding your eligibility to continue enrollment at NCCU.

Each school/college identifies an academic appeal review chair responsible for managing the process within the school or college for reviewing each submission. Most schools/colleges also maintain an academic appeals committee to review each submission through a holistic lens.
Students who were not currently enrolled in the most recent term (fall or spring) and wish to return to NCCU must first apply for readmission.
An Academic Appeal is independent from any review of your financial aid eligibility for Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) that may be conducted by the Office of Scholarships and Student Aid. If you have lost your financial aid eligibility, you will be required to submit a Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Appeal.
