Repeat Course Surcharge Waiver Appeal
Students may appeal for a waiver of the state-mandated repeat surcharge as an exception for a previous withdrawal or failed attempt due to extenuating
circumstances of financial hardship only once for each course. (Previously attempted courses must have a final grade of a "W" or an "F" and extenuating
circumstances related to why "W" or "F" grades were earned). Appeals will be reviewed by the committee and decisions will be emailed to your UWF
