Personal Statement: Student Suspension

I am writing this appeal letter to inform you of the circumstances that have held me back from being the best student that I can be, over the last two terms. The my first term at AIU was in the spring of 2015. I began the term off doing well, I was achieving A’s and B’s. Then after achieving such great grades my luck turned for the worst. I became ill and then shortly after the fact my father became very ill.

I am writing to you in the hopes to appeal the decision of my academic suspension. When I received the news of my suspension I was deeply saddened, but understood completely the circumstances under which the decision was made. My low GPA failed to meet the requirements of the University to remain an active student on campus, which as a result led to my temporary dismissal. In the beginning of my freshman year, I was very excited about coming to Howard University because I had fell in love with the school. Into my first year I took on 18 credit hours convinced that college would be similar to high school. My first semester felt extremely overwhelming, I thought that I could handle my classes, and I convinced myself that I did not need help but I had only proved by the end of that semester that I was wrong. I did not know how to study well, and I could rely on my “smarts” to get me through classes that were rigorous. I enrolled myself without counseling into Spanish 2, calculus 1, and Freshman composition and I struggled the entire way, my pride just would not let me admitted that I needed help. So I lied to myself, I told myself that it would get better or maybe just go away. It did not and after failing my final exams I would be faced with the damage I had done to my, academic career.

I am writing to appeal my academic dismissal from Chamberlain College of Nursing. I understand that I have taken the NR 302 Health Assessment course two times at Chamberlain College of Nursing and have not been successful, which led to my dismissal. Receiving a dismissal letter on October 30, 2015, through my email was not a surprise to me, but I was upset with myself for pain that I caused to myself. This is my fault and I am fully responsible for this failure. I am writing this appeal letter to explain the reason of my failure and to appeal to you to please consider reinstating me for the spring session.

I am writing to petition my academic disqualification from the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer science and from UC Irvine. After reflecting on my academic career at UC Irvine, I can only blame myself for getting into this situation. Regrettably I did not visit the Student Affairs consolers soon enough. During my visit, I realized how compassionate and sincere the academic consolers treated me. This experience gave me the audacity to attend my professor’s office hours. Although it was too late for my actions to reflect my grades, the office hours taught me the importance of participation, discussion, and communication.

I’m writing to you, in hopes to appeal my academic dismissal of the nursing program at Adelphi University. I am aware that my grades are lower than required, and I take full responsibility for being on academic probation. I was surprised when I got the news that I have been dismissed from the nursing program because I did not receive any form of notification of dismissal from the University earlier. I was informed by my guidance counselor prior to the start of spring semester that I would say in the program as long as I did not obtain a lower GPA than I had. As a result of my GPA increasing I was surprised to receive the news of my dismissal. Despite this I believe that I did not handle my situation correctly and should have maintained sufficient grades to avoid academic probation. As stated before I recognize and

I ask desperately that you please hear me out. All I could think of as the Student Conduct Committee, wrote my letter of failure,. Yes, letter of failure not acceptance. In reality, I am projected to be a statistic that could never graduate from a four-year accredited College or University. Eventually leading the next generation of my family into poverty and a lack of education along with myself. After four years at the University of Florida I had two options, accept the possible sanction of expulsion which will be made official in a couple weeks after you, Jen Day Shaw, the Associate Vice-President & Dean of Students finalizes and stamps it. Or, I could fight for myself being

I am writing to appeal my academic dismissal from NOVA Southeastern University. I was not surprised, but very upset to receive a notice of my dismissal. I sat out for a year and would like to be accepted for the upcoming semester. I admit, I had a very difficult time during my last semester and as a result my grades suffered. I don't mean to make excuses for my poor academic performance and I understand it’s my fault, but I would like to explain the circumstances as well as my great interest in the program.

William Peace University has received an application from one of your students, William Adams. On his application, he stated that he served a suspension for too many unexcused check-ins.

Prior to this unexpected circumstance, I was faithfully advocating for my success at this university with using the on-campus and online campus resources such as: student first

Originally created as a discipline action of last resort for students who cause unsafe or threatening environment or substantive clear and present danger with threats of violence and are possession of weapons in the school, out of school suspension are now being used to address minor offenses such as disobedience, disrespect, attendance issues, or other general disruptions (Stinchcomb, Bazemore & Riestenberg, 2006). Suspension were used judiciously and cautiously as the impact on the student and the perceptions of that suspension by the community was understood to be socially debilitating and cast the student and the family in a bad light (Advancement Project, 2015). It was not until the move towards school reforms in the

I will start this letter off by explaining my past actions to fully understand where I came from, where I have gone, and what I have accomplished; since I left the university on an academic dismissal. First, my success has always and will always be dependent on me. The world is tough place and being able to be successful in this world is extremely difficult. When I first went to Colorado State University I had no direction, goals or ideas of what I wanted for myself. I was working a lot as a minor professional Ice hockey referee to pay for something that I was not truly ready to commit to. I learned from a young age no one will support you and success is only dependent on you. As I had no direction and no real understanding of myself to pursue

The probation service also offers information and support to victims of sexual or violent incidents.

I am worried that my transcripts displayed weakness as a student because of my questionable GPA from freshman and sophomore year. Without making excuses for myself, I want to impress upon you the number of personal difficulties I faced during that time, including – but not limited to – several hospitalizations. After my sophomore year, I transferred

I am writing this letter to express my sincere apology for what occurred in your class on Tuesday, April 4, 2017. My decisions were extremely poor and resulted in a unnecessary waste of time for you and I as well as the rest of the class. I may have not felt this way at first, but after having some time to think I now realize how disrespectful, rude, and pointless my actions were as well as how lucky I actually am to get off fairly easy.

Please accept this letter of readmission clarifying my desire to complete my degree in the Education Program for the Spring semester of 2017. I was dropped from the program due to low academic performance during the fall semester of 2013. My academics did not suffer due to me not understanding the material nor my inability to complete my work; It is with full understanding that I was dropped for poor academics which was due to personal reasons and health complications; which placed me in a compromising and unfortunate situation. During my three -year dismissal from Mercer allotted me to the opportunity to concentrate on my personal responsibility including my physical health. Given the opportunity of readmission into
