Appeal Letter
Appeal Letter: Dear Academic Comittee,
The purpose of my appeal letter is to implore the committee to reconsider denying the removal of MATH 121 from my cumulative GPA. In this letter, I will be providing further contextual information surrounding the situation. Initially, I wanted to approach the angle of requirements changing rather than a serious non-academic circumstance due to reasons of a personal, preferably more private, nature.
However, there were additional incidents regarding my first-year in my academic career at Queen's University that I am now going to disclose despite their uncomfortable nature. I believed my original rationale and explanations would've been sufficient, but since this information severely affected my academic ability during that relevant period, the proper documentation for it will be forwarded.
During the term, I faced serious and intense harrassment in addition to safety issues regarding another student living on campus residence. This situation ended up escalating to property damage, discriminatory harassment, physical assault, verbal threats, theft of personal belongings (over $200 worth), and more. As a result, a no-contact order was eventually issued due to a lack a proof, as Queen's West Campus has little to no surveillance. Additionally, it should be taken into account that this was one issue among many I encountered living in residence.
This situation caused substantial emotional distress, financial loss, and severe disruption to my day-to-day life, but especially my academic situation. In fact, I ended up on academic probation, and this year I have managed to recover a bit, and restore my academic standing. However, I am still not at the point of automatic acceptance into my plan. I am now submitting the attached documentation in support of my appeal so the committee can see deeper into my rational surrounding my initial petition.
I am respectfully asking that committee reconsiders my petition, and allows for MATH 121 to be rendered to a non-GPA impacting status, in light of this documentation.
I appreciate your time and consideration, and I am hoping that the committee is able to empathize with the circumstances involved, and acknowledge my dedication to my academic career.
Thank you so much for your efforts,
Sincerely,
Ayoub Mokhtari
