Sometimes the journey to a graduate degree doesn’t go as planned. At Grambling State, we believe in second chances—and in a process that’s fair, supportive, and clear. If you're seeking readmission into a graduate program, the Graduate Appeals Portal is your starting point.
This online system allows you to submit your appeal directly to the Graduate Council for review. Take time to gather your materials, understand the process, and complete each step with care.
