Has anyone ever had to write a letter as an appeal to stay in collage if they were out for illness or bad grades etc?
Whats a good formula?
Thanks for the help.

Dang thanks Jillian, I didn't even notice I spelled college wrong! Thanks for the shake up.
Good advice Jim. I myself am not in college, as my spelling might tell lol, but my friend has given her doctor letters. I'll see if she called on the Dean as well. She had an accident that left her head fairly messed up and thinking was a luxury most days. It was very severe but shes in much better shape now and hopes to get another chance.
Thanks everyone for the help and good wishes. : )

There is no good formula. They make decisions on individual cases. If you have been released this has to be the second semester in a row you have had trouble so there really is little for you to go on. If you are on probation and being put on academic dismissal for bad grades, there is not much you can do. The university or collage has to follow their stated rules.
If you have had an illness, you need to talk to your Dean to see if they will intervene on your behalf. I would recommend making appointments and talking directly to people rather than trying to deal with the situation with letters. If you have been ill, be sure to bring letters from your doctor stating that you have been ill. Though you should have already done this to explain your absences. Bringing in letters way after the fact does not impress professors or administrators.
Good Luck.

I haven't written a letter, but if you want to write an appeal letter you have to explain exactly what went wrong. If you were ill, provide some medical documentation. Or if there were perhaps family circumstances or other circumstances, explain that too. Let them know why you want to stay in college and what you will do next year to be better. Basically be as thorough as possible as to what happened to your studies and how you will improve. Let them know that you are serious, and hopefully they will give you another chance! Best of Luck!!

Your University may have an Ombuds program that will help in situations like that. I would start there.
Good luck

Your advisor can show you the correct format.
