What if I have a question about an admission decision?
1. Any applicant who wishes to inquire about or to appeal an admission decision made by the Master of Arts in Curriculum and Instruction program at the Attallah College of Educational Studies may contact the program administrative assistant in writing at kmccuen@chapman.edu. If the student wishes to submit a formal written grievance, this must be received by kmccuen@chapman.edu within 10 days of admissions decision. Once the written grievance has been received, it will be forwarded to the program coordinator, who will review documentation with the admissions committee and respond in writing to the candidate.
2. If the student wishes to further grieve the response they may do so in writing to kmccuen@chapman.edu within 10 days of grievance response. At this point, the applicant's file (including candidate’s application package and review scores) will be forwarded to the program coordinator and a meeting will be arranged with the applicant to review applicant documents and program decision.
3. Should the applicant desire to file a formal grievance, a written appeal should be sent within five working days to the Associate Dean of Graduate Programs. The Associate Dean will confer with the applicant and meet with the program coordinator and faculty if appropriate. Within 10 business days of meeting with the Associate Dean, the applicant will receive a formal written statement indicating the decision of the college.
