Appealing an Admission Decision
Applicants who are denied admission because they do not meet the ETSU admission requirements may request further consideration through the appeal process. To be an appropriate candidate for the appeal process, the individual should be someone who had extenuating circumstances that contributed to their academic performance.
The applicant should submit the following information to appeal their admission decision:
- Appeal Letter-- This should outline in detail the extenuating circumstances that impacted your
academic performance in high school or college.
- Letters of Support--No more than three letters of support may be submitted from school counselors, faculty, coaches, professional references, or family members.
This documentation should be submitted to admissions@etsu.edu with the subject line "Admissions Appeal". Your appeal paperwork needs to be submitted at least a month before the start of the term for which you applied.
