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
