Appeal Grounds
Appeals to the Board of Studies must include a letter based on one or more of the Grounds for Appeal (Appeal Regulation 3.4). What are the grounds you are basing your appeal on?
- The Associate Dean's decision did not follow the rules of procedural fairness. A breach of procedural fairness includes such things as the Associate Dean failed to:
- Make a reasonable decision in your appeal. A “reasonable” decision is one that is based on evidence, thought out and supported by facts and logical inferences from the facts. To be reasonable, the decision must contain adequate reasons for the conclusions.
Appeal Grounds Details: I have received the detail for the decision and it seems like my appeal can't be accept due to several reasons. But I think these are all reasons that I can explain so I really want to try one more time hardly because things that this appeal covered means a lot to me....
Appeal Letter
Appeal Letter: To whom it may concern:
Hope this letter finds you well
I received the email about details for decision that made by Associate Dean several days ago and I think the reason for not accepting my appeal can be summarized in two things. First is not all of my professors support to extent the grade, second is I think they may misunderstand the file that I submitted. But I think I can explain all of them as I really want to try one more time hardly for this petition as it's really important to me. The first reason I think the decision may can change is I really have done most of the work in the three courses as I only have one exam left to be done for each of the course, so I think it will be better for me to finish them instead of taking them all over again. Although I have to say that I didn't do very well in PHGY 215 and ANAT 100 because my emotional status still have ups and downs at that time, but I promise I will do my best for them right now as I think I have really backed on track tight now because I have done most of the work well this term and I never miss assignments right now expect for deferring exams for a really serious flu. So, I really can promise that I can do well in the two exams for courses as I really get the way on learning right now. For STAT 263, I finished all other works and even get a mark that's higher than 90 in Midterm, so I think it's not very reasonable for me to take it again, I deferred the exam for the course really just because at that time I have to do two experiments on the exam day plus I just experienced one thing that really made me down in my home so I think I may need time to take a rest, but I really can do it well and I also talked about this with the professor in this course, I think he didn't feel down about my request so I think I really need to just finish it. And for the document that I submitted from Mrs. Allison, I think it also support my idea because the date that covered by the file truly covered last term. The first thing I promise to myself this year is I will no longer just simply give up , so please, give me a chance to finish them, this means a lot to me.....
Thank you for your understanding and help

Documentation
Document: JK Appeal doc-FEB2025-0.pdf
I plan to submit additional documentation at a later date: If you needed, I think I can submit a letter from my family members to explain about my situation last term so you can know more clearly about why sometimes I still need to defer some exams even through I already finish two courses from the same term. If you nee please tell me I can submit it within a week.
