Berklee Academic Dismissal Inquiry

All academic dismissal inquiries should be based on extenuating circumstances with written verification included. You will be expected to upload a copy of acceptable documentation, medical or otherwise, to corroborate your circumstances.


Your submission will be considered only if you have met the following requirements:

  • You received a notification from Student Success with a link to this form.
  • Your inquiry is in alignment with the upcoming deadlines published on the Enrollment Appeals Timeline.
You will be asked to outline any extenuating circumstances which have impacted your ability to meet all the terms of your Academic Recovery Contract and/or Satisfactory Academic Progress during your most recent semester of enrollment. It's important to note that details of extenuating circumstances predating your most recent semester of enrollment, which may have been included in past SAP Appeal Form submissions, may not be considered.
