In case of course withdrawal, appeals are almost always denied if the issue is not the responsibility of University faculty, staff, or systems, or the result of documented extreme circumstances.
 
Please indicate which of the following policies you are appealing (check all that apply). Complete policy details are available on the Westfield State University website and the Westfield State University Catalog, in conjunction with other CGCE publications:
