College Appeals Information for Dismissed Students

A student will be dismissed from the college if they do not show improvement in their academic performance after being on academic probation for three consecutive semesters. Dismissed students are not eligible to enroll at MassBay until they successfully appeal their dismissal through the College Appeals Board (CAB).

 

CAB

The College Appeals Board (CAB) provides an impartial and efficient process for students to appeal academic dismissal and request readmission.
