The Weissman Graduate Affairs Committee considers student appeals.
The Committee meets twice per semester during the fall and spring semesters to review student appeals in academic matters.
These are some of the appeals handled by the committee:
- Extension of time to degree clock
- Retroactive withdrawal from a class or total resignation (after the semester is over)
- Permission to drop after the deadline
- Request for reinstatement if dismissed
- Curricular adjustments or waivers of academic rules
All requests should include a completed Weissman Graduate Affairs General Appeal Form and include documented, supporting evidence: medical notes, military papers, etc. The filing of an appeal does not guarantee a favorable decision; the committee weighs all the information presented by the student and arrives at a conclusion based upon the application of college rules and the appropriateness of the request.
Please note: Appeals often require input/recommendations from offices throughout the college. Submission of an appeal before the meeting date does not guarantee the request will be considered at that meeting.
The student is informed in writing of the committee’s decision. Students do not appear before the committee.
The Weissman Graduate Affairs Committee is based in the Office of Graduate Studies. Appeals should be submitted via email to Leslie.Hunt@baruch.cuny.edu.
Grade Appeals
Students are strongly encouraged to first communicate with the professor of the course. If that conversation does not remedy the situation, or if students choose to not follow that route, then students who think that a final grade was issued erroneously may file a grade appeal.
Incomplete Grades
Graduate Students who receive an Incomplete (INC grade) must fulfill their academic obligation within one calendar year (or earlier campus deadline) of the end of the semester in which the grade of Incomplete is given.

Winter and Spring Registration dates start the first week of November.
