## General Appeal

A Petition for General Appeal may only be submitted for processes or deadlines governed by the Office of the University Registrar; e.g., registration and enrollment status deadlines, fee refunds for Cancellation/Withdrawal, PELP, etc.

Readmission and admission decisions are not governed by the Office of the University Registrar.

Any student who has missed the **Readmission deadline** needs to contact their college advisor directly rather than completing a General Appeal form.  Additionally, those wishing to submit an appeal regarding their **admission decision** must appeal in [MyAdmissions](https://myadmissions.ucdavis.edu/applicants/) directly.

When reviewing appeals, the General Appeal Committee looks at the student’s entire record and any support documentation provided as to why the student missed a particular deadline. As such, there is the expectation that when submitting an appeal the student has a substantive and supported reason for the appeal; e.g., medical or family emergency, administrative error, or other extenuating circumstance. **Appeals submitted without appropriate merit or supporting documentation are denied**.

Submit questions online regarding the General Appeal process to the [Office of the University Registrar](https://registrar.ucdavis.edu/about/contact).
