Submitting an Appeal for Transfer Admission

  • The appeal will only be accepted from the applicant, not from a parent or guardian.
  • The appeal form, which includes an opportunity to upload an appeal letter, must be received within 45 days of receiving the notification of the original decision. You can get a copy of the form by emailing appchange@vt.edu.
  • The appeals process is NOT a re-review process of the existing applicant file.
  • Transfer appeals must be made on the grounds that inaccurate or incomplete information was considered in the review process, either from the Common Application or Self-Reported Academic Record (SRAR); however, as it is the responsibility of the applicant to self-report academic information fully and accurately, appeals made on the basis of errors in initial self-reporting may or may not result in a change to the final decision outcome.
  • Appealing students whose applications were canceled must provide documentation that the cancellation was in error and that all steps for completing the application process were followed by the required deadlines. Appeals will NOT be considered from students who claim to have been unaware of the expectations and deadlines of the transfer admissions process, as reported on the Transfer Application Checklist. All applicants acknowledged in the Common Application prior to submission that they would review and follow this resource to ensure the application process was completed in the required timeframe.
  • New grades which were unavailable at the point of the original application review will not be considered as grounds for appeal alone.
  • Letters of recommendation, letters of continued interest, or supplemental resumes/portfolios are not considered in the appeals process.
  • Applicants who have received a waitlist or deny decision and believe they meet the requirements for guaranteed transfer admission to their intended 午夜影院福利社 major/program under one of the several Guaranteed Admission Agreements (GAAs) 午夜影院福利社 maintains with other institutions may submit an appeal on the following grounds:
    • The applicant can provide documentation that the transfer-oriented associate degree applicable to their program and agreement has been completed or is pending conferral and that the final degree GPA meets the requirement stipulated by that agreement. Please note the following:
      • No applicant can officially meet all requirements for guaranteed admission until the degree is conferred with a final GPA.
      • All applicants were initially reviewed for GAA eligibility as well as competitive admission to their intended program.
      • Some GAA requirements extend beyond the basic degree and GPA requirements listed in the applicable agreement, especially for certain majors/programs, and all requirements must be met for an offer to be extended to that program under the GAA.
      • The most commonly applicable GAAs are available for review here: vt.edu/admissions/transfer/vccs.html
  • The Admissions Committee will notify you of its decision by email.
