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:
- Follow the university rules and regulations in a way that supported your right to a fair process.
Appeal Grounds Details: I submitted my petition on the grounds that I was not in the mental state throughout the majority of the year, due to my grandmother being placed in intensive care and passing away after moving back home to Jamaica. The petition was denied on the grounds that if my petition was to be accepted it would ruin the integrity of your system. I did not provide any evidence. The decision was a valid decision at the time because I only provided a photo of the funeral pamphlet. The Associate Dean’s decision addressed how that was the only reason my petition was not accepted. However I now have a death certificate and also further evidence in my mother who was my therapist at the time.
Appeal Letter
Appeal Letter: I am starting off this letter getting straight to the point. I know that my petition was denied because I did not provide enough evidence for my extenuating circumstance. However I now have the death certificate, and further evidence my mother. I moved back and fourth between my house and home and my mother was the main one who I talked to and who drove me there and back.
I would like to further state my point because writing is not the easiest way I get things done. I would like to attend the board meeting because my evidence would have to be provided by my mother through an email or over zoom at the board meeting. My moms phone number will be listed below and I hope you can give her a call.
I was not talking to my friends about the issue even though they called a lot and I know that the school has rules about what can and can not be used as evidence. However in this case, I think that due to the circumstances of what happened, my mom basically being my only rock in this scenario, she should be able to be consulted as evidence.
Thank You,
Jason Crooks
