Policy: United States University (USU) examines both academic and professional qualifications of all applicants and aims to ensure all applicants accepted into its programs have the ability to benefit from and contribute to the integral educational experience at the University. Admission decisions are based on the congruence of the applicant's educational interests.
Detailed information on USU's Policy on the Basis for Admission can be found in the University Catalog and Policy Manual.
Should a student wish to appeal an admission decision the appeal must represent new and significant academic or compelling information that was not presented previously at the time of application. This appeal should be stronger than when originally submitted. Without this information the University will not approve an appeal and the the original admission decision will stand.
Once an appeal has been received with all supporting documentation it will be reviewed by an appeal committee appointed by the College Dean of which applicant is applying within 10 business days. A response will be provided no later than five business days after a decision has been made.
Purpose: The purpose of this policy is to provide a process for applicants who wish to appeal an admission decision.
Scope: The scope of this policy applies to all applicants (new and returning) seeking admission with United States University whose application was denied.
