FAQs https://www.lehman.edu/academic-standards/appeals-faq/ 

• Once you get dismissed, you have to sit out a semester and complete an academic intervention.  

• The point of this is to help you be more successful when you come back.  

• After completing the academic intervention, you can file an appeal.  

• This is not hard and is very worthwhile.  

• You can apply for instructions on completing the academic intervention by filling out this form: https://forms.office.com/r/pVLGMK3Dpj 

Once you have completed the academic intervention, here is the place to appeal for readmission  

https://lehman.smapply.io/prog/undergraduate_appeals

In your appeal, you will need to write a statement about why you should be readmitted.  Your appeal should include the following: 

• What went wrong 

• What you have been doing while out of college will help you do better (examples: how did it help you mature, realize the importance of college, learn new skills etc.) Mention here if you have taken any college courses elsewhere. 

• What will you do to ensure that you get good grades once you are back at Lehman. 

Also, you should be able to talk to your first-year support specialist or an advisor about your appeal by making an appointment in Navigate (http://www.lehman.edu/navigate).  Either the first-year support specialist, I or someone else can read over your statement before you submit it, if you want. 

If you have a bursar hold  

If you have a bursar’s hold and need to appeal to be able to return to the College, please check with the Bursar’s office to understand why you have a hold, how it can be resolved, and whether you are eligible to set up a payment plan if you need one.   

If you are not ready or don’t want to come back 

 We strongly encourage you to stay in touch.   

• One option that might work is to enroll in a program at the Lehman School of Continuing and Professional Studies.  Step Up can help you find a program that works for you. 

• Another option is to earn some alternative credits. CSMlearn is an example of this but there are others.  

• If you feel you need remediation or want a specific career program, you could transfer to a community college. You can transfer back to Lehman when you are ready. In fact, there are Lehman transfer advisors at Hostos, BCC and BMCC.
