Dear School Appeal Board Committee,

My name is Leon Noel Ting and I am writing to appeal my suspension due to my not meeting the probationary requirements set up by the Registrar’s Office for the Spring semester 2015.

I am an international student from Singapore. I graduated a few years back from Management Development Institute of Singapore (MDIS), an educational institute affiliated to Oklahoma City University with a Diploma in Mass Communications. My advisor at MDIS told me that OCU had an amazing program if I wished to continue to pursue a bachelor’s degree abroad. Since then OCU cancelled the program …show more content…

I was overjoyed when I received the acceptance letter from Brooks and thought to myself that all my efforts were worth it. The acceptance letter marked a brand new start. I attended a number of educational institutes but the one that I am currently attending is very different. I sincerely wish to stay at Brooks to complete my Bachelor's degree and graduate to contribute back to society as an artist. Due to the sudden change in the academic environment and financial stress I have failed very badly as a student and have not met any of the requirements to stay in Brooks. The higher cost of living in California was not planned into my college budget and a series of unfortunate events also contributed to my failure. As I did not have time to settle into California and figure the place out, I was struggling with housing and basic daily necessities. These are however excuses and I am not condoning it. It is the fault of mine due to lack of planning and laziness. I have tried to make attempts to save my grades but though there was some progress it still was insufficient. If allowed to return for the Spring semester, I promise to remedy my unacceptable GPA by working harder. General Education courses are not my strong point and therefore much more emphasis will be put on it. I also have realized that my effort ratio for different courses does not balance, tending to favor courses related to my major and interests versus general education. Balancing the ratio would ensure all courses get the same amount of attention, regardless of content, and not neglected like the past semesters. I will attend class on time, turning in work when it is due and making sure I periodically check with my professors if I am on the right track. I made mistakes in my freshman year but will do anything to rectify them if you would give me another chance. Attending college is a life changer for me and I will need to adapt to these

  • Ward Vs. Polite Case Summary

    1843 Words  | 4 Pages

    Ward’s request unethical and Mrs. Ward’s unwillingness to change her position necessitated an informal review. That review included the academic supervisor along with the practicum supervisor and the student. Offered to the student were three options: complete a remediation plan, resign from the Counseling program, or request a university formal review. The university’s Formal Review Committee consisting of one student and two professors, all from the Counseling Department and one professor from the Education Leadership Department, determined she violated the university’s code of ethics and therefore was dismissed her from the Counseling Program. The dismissal led to the first court case, Ward v. Willbanks. The trial court ruled in favor of Eastern Michigan University (EMU) through summary judgment. Mrs. Ward appealed the case to the state appellate court, who reversed the decision and returned the case to the lower court for adjudication. Judicial adjudication was avoided, however, as the university settled with Mrs. Ward with a monetary payment and the removal of the expulsion from her

  • Personal Narrative: My Four Years In High School

    570 Words  | 2 Pages

    As a senior, my past is full of things that I wish I had done differently. My past years in high school weren’t always the best, but they make me who I am today. Problems that I dealt with were that I had trouble keeping my grades and GPA up because, I was more focused on socializing and being a class clown than I was on my school work. Because I wanted to be a class clown it also caused a lot of behavioral issues. I ended up being kicked out of my ninth-grade math class because of it, damaging my GPA even more. Having behavioral issues is never a good thing it caused me to be suspended out of school, which are reflected poorly on my attendance. So, when I was in school, I was so far behind that it made it nearly impossible to catch up. I feel as if these were some of the worst decisions I could have made, because it’s made it so much harder for me going into my senior year.

    While I wish finding my way around the school was my only problem, I was faced with some internal challenges. As the school year started, my friends slowly started to leave to these “big shot” colleges or simply move away to other community colleges. I, too, wanted the complete “college experience” somewhere in Arizona or across the country; yet I felt stuck and unaccomplished. I also felt jealousy which could have been because I did not get to decorate my dorm room.While talking about dedicating hard work to your education, Gina Rodriguez said “Just remember, during those times of fear and doubt, that you are right now discovering your true strength.” And in those times of doubt, I reminded myself why I could not just move and leave everything behind. The root of my challenges and concerns are my family. As I enrolled as a full time student, my family was fighting some financial problems which created marriage troubles for my parents. I could not leave at a time like this. I knew it was not the first time my parents were talking divorce but somehow I knew it was best to stay. I got financial aid from the school which saved me the fuss of asking my parents for money. It really meant so much to not put another worry on their

    College was such a big ordeal around this time last year! Many students had no choice but to think about it every day and I was surrounded by friends and classmates thinking about the same thing. Am I sure this is the school for me? Do I really want to move away or just stay near my mom? I even thought to myself, “What about moving out of state?” Everyone was so nervous, and everyone had the right to be. We are all trying to take the next step into moving on after high school. Until April 5th, 2016, my proudest moment was this day. I received acceptance into the Alabama A&M university.

I had no way of making it back home and was too ashamed of what people would think. This encounter with her became my last, but it was too late, I constantly had her words in my head telling me to quit as soon as I started to catch up on missing assignments, but I was determined to persevere.

    To the Department of Communication Disorders, I am writing to request an appeal concerning a couple of the department’s policies, which I have already violated prior to my enrollment at the University of Houston. The first policy I am addressing states that a student must earn at least a B- in all pre-COMD courses. The second policy I would like to petition states that a student may earn no more than one grade below a B- in COMD courses. I have violated this policy at my former university (where such policy was not in place) by obtaining a C grade in Anatomy and Speech Science. I hope to be able to have the opportunity to retake these courses at the University of Houston in order to receive a higher grade and be accepted into the COMD program.
