This is a rough draft. The asterics is where I want to change some stuff. I mainly want to know if I have a good enough of a reason to be approved.
I also changed the dates and names of some things to remain anonymous.
I am writing this SAP appeal in hopes of appealing my financial aid suspension due to my low GPA (1.94).
When I first arrived at UC X, I began dealing with mental health issues. By the end of fall quarter, I was self harming.
While I am usually a motivated and hardworking student, I allowed my mental health to effect my academics. I should have never allowed myself and my academics to suffer as long as they did.
After spring quarter of 2016, I was dismissed for the upcoming fall quarter so that I could see a professional. I began seeing a therapist August 15th and immediately felt the effects in my day to day life. I felt more positive and motivated than ever before. Attached is a note from my therapist (showing improvement).
I was readmitted to UC X for winter quarter 2016. While I have made a full recovery, I will be making weekly appointments with the Student Wellness Center to ensure that I stay on the right path.
While out of UC X, I also took two community college classes that were required for my new major, Managerial Economics. I received excellent grades in both classes. I have attached an unofficial transcript from the community college. After taking classes in my new major along with learning about it on my own time, I know I have found a true passion in managerial economics. ** My advisor and I have been working closely on building a new graduation plan. I will be scheduling appointments with her monthly in order to maintain my academic progress.
I do not expect my new major to be less challenging, but I am certain that I will succeed academically once returning to UC X. After changing my major and seeing a professional, I am confident that I will raise my GPA to meet the SAP requirements. However, I plan on improving beyond the minimum requirements by attending success and study strategy workshops along with my professors' office hours.
I hope the committee considers my appeal.
