What is the policy to repeat a course?

Beginning Fall 2014 for all undergraduate students, the policies for repeating courses and for grade forgiveness are defined as:

How do I know when I am expected to graduate?

You can review your DegreeWorks, your electronic degree-audit system to see what courses and how many credits you have left for graduation.

What if I need to take a semester off from school?

Please contact your Appalachian advisor to discuss your options before taking any action in this regard.  If you are not sure who your advisor is, please email online@appstate.edu or view your electronic degree-audit system, DegreeWorks.

When is my bill due?

Please visit the Student Accounts site for information about tuition, billing and payments.
