## Decisions

### [How can I obtain more specific information about my denial decision?](#questionOne)

An admissions counselor would be happy to provide more information regarding the admission decision. Contact us at 217-333-0302 and ask to speak with a counselor.

### [I was denied because my high school grades weren’t competitive for admission. What are my options?](#questionTwo)

We encourage you to reapply once you have completed 36 or more graded, transferable hours of college coursework after graduating from high school. Please refer to our [Transfer Handbook](https://transferhandbook.illinois.edu/) for a list of transfer admission prerequisites.

### [What does "Deny—Incomplete Application" mean?](#questionFour)

It means you did not submit the required supporting materials by the deadline.

### [Can I reapply for the same term?](#questionFive)

No, you can’t submit a new application for the term to which you were denied. You must wait to reapply for the next available admission term. Please review our [open and closed majors](https://www.admissions.illinois.edu/Apply/Transfer/open-closed) to see if your desired program is available in the next term.

## Appeals

### [Can I appeal my decision?](#questionSix)

Yes, although an appeal should only be filed if new and compelling information is available or if you'd like to be considered for a program you didn't apply to. You can submit the Decision Appeal Form in [myIllini](https://www.admissions.illinois.edu/myillini) to be considered for your original major or a new major. We encourage you to speak with a transfer admissions counselor regarding your intent to appeal before submitting the Decision Appeal Form. Contact an admission counselor at 217-333-0302 for more information.

### [I submitted an appeal. When will I find out if I’ve been reconsidered?](#questionSeven)

We’ll notify you of your decision 2 to 4 weeks after your appeal has been submitted. The deadline to appeal is December 20 for spring and June 1 for fall. Your decision will be posted within [myIllini](https://www.admissions.illinois.edu/myillini).
