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.
- 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: Dear Members of the Board of Studies,
I am writing to appeal the decision to impose a one-year withdrawal from my program.

Although the deferred request for PHGY 216 was not approved by the professor, but he has expressed willingness to support my drop from the course. Thus I believe the grade will not included in my GPA calculation. If these grades change, I believe that my GPA would exceed the minimum requirement. From my perspective, this violated the principle outlined in the Academic Progress Regulation, which states that academic standing should be assessed based on a complete academic record. Additionally, the review of my petition also overlooked the academic improvement I have made since Fall 2024, across three consecutive terms (Fall 2024, Winter 2025, and Summer 2025), compared to my earlier performance. It also failed to take into account my improved health condition and the academic plan I have developed. Thus, I think the conclusion reached to say that I have

Appeal Letter: Dear Members of the Board of Studies,
Just like what requested, I want to address specific points raised in the Associate Dean's decision.
