Reconsideration
The Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ is committed to providing a fair and consistent tuition discount and scholarship process that offers Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ the opportunity to appeal for tuition discount and scholarship reconsideration. As a rule, UM scholarships and tuition discounts are awarded based on academic merit, as measured by high school GPA or transfer GPA. The committee seldom deviates from the published awarding criteria. However, we recognize there are occasionally circumstances where a review is warranted, such as new test scores, a revised GPA, or unforeseen life events that may have impacted a student's performance. Elevating a student's tuition discount or scholarship to the next level for the purpose of accommodating "unforeseen life events" only occurs in rare cases, and only when the student's original GPA or test scores fall just immediately below the stated requirement. Reconsideration for improved GPA and/or new test scores will automatically qualify a student for a new tuition discount or scholarship, upon the University being notified of the student's improved status.
