Supporting Documentation

Below you find a list of supporting documents that are required to substantiate your request for release. This list is meant to serve as a guide and contains the documents required for common types of requests.  It is the students responsibility to provide supporting documentation and the committee will not gather documentation on the students behalf. Appeals submitted without supporting documentation will still be reviewed by the committee but the likelihood of approval drastically decreases without supporting documentation.
