Has anyone written an appeal for a grade change (college level)?

Who are you addressing this appeal to?\n\nWhen I did mine, I gave a brief summary of what I was asking for, gave supporting evidence, let them know that if they needed more I could supply it, and ended with a request for a fair decision.\n\nBe concise, and try not to criticize the teacher or their curriculum.  But at the same time, don't gloss over the details.\n\nAnd yes, the appeal went in my favor.

This depends on whether or not you are in a public or private school. Talk with your counselor about it. You will probably have to petition your school board AND complete all the required courses for the grade you would like to skip. If you are in gifted and talented education (TAG, GT, etc.) talk to your teacher also. You may need teachers to sponsor the skip, a psychological evaluation that states not only that you can handle the level of education but also the social change, letters from your parents/legal guardians, and even possibly an attorney. Your state/region may have laws about skipping as well (many states do).

You should have the full appeals procedure in the university's handbook. It usually (but not always) takes up to five working days to organise a committe to hear your case and you should be allowed to have a representative with you to speak for you and as a witness. The decision should be given in writing within another 5 working days. If the decision was not the one you wanted, you should then have another five working days to appeal against the decision, but you need to show that the hearing was not conducted according to the rules. Then you could wait another five working days for another hearing with higher authorities listening to the case.\n\nConsult your university handbook and if it is not in there ask the student union representative to get the procedure from the administration office for you. You have a right to appeal and to have a copy of the procedure.\n\nI hope this helps.\n\nRegarding your appeal against a grade, having to miss lectures or failing to study because you had to work might not be accepted as a reasonable circumstance. As an international student you should work only 20 hours a week and that leaves plenty of time for lectures and assignments, etc. A better circumstance would be to challenge the grade of some "group assignments" and show that your grade was lower because the others did not work as well as you did.\n\nGood luck with the appeal.

I work in the Financial Aid Office at Northwestern University. I've seen many of these such letters, and as far as I know there really is no set format. Just state your situation as clearly as you can, citing examples, and be clear about what you want. Also, be very grateful, because often an increased financial aid award means depleting University funds. Simply illustrate, as eloquently and concisely as possible, why you need more aid, and thank them profusely for their help.

See the subject you failed in and work on it .... you can always go back for that same year again ,, but if you think that those subjects were not what you wanted .. you should change your major and take the credits of the subjects you already took.... Failing is not a big deal because FAILURE IS A STEP TO SUCCESS but GIVING UP IS A STEP TO FAILURE... so go ahead and repeat the same year or change your major to the year you want.

I assume for the sake of brevity that your school uses the standard grading scale of A≥93%, 93%>A-≥90%, 90%>B+≥87%, 87%>B≥83%, and so on. If you are now making a C, your grade is less than 77% and greater than or equal to 73%. Let X be your actual percentage and Y be the portion of your grade that is comprised of the upcoming exams. Suppose that you make 100% on your exams. Then to get at least a B+, X*(1-Y)+Y≥87%. This means that X-XY+Y≥87%, Y*(1-X)+X≥87%, Y*(1-X)≥87%-X, Y≥(.87-X)/(1-X). We know your grade is less than 77%, so substituting that for X, Y>(.87-.77)/(1-.77), Y>.1/.23, Y>43.47826% (approx.). (The reason we switched from ≥ to > is because we know your grade cannot be exactly .77, and all lower grades will increase the value of y). That means, that unless your final exams constitute at least 43.47826% of your grade, it is absolutely impossible for you to pull your grades up to a B+.

FA requires you to be in good standing at the previous college.  Usually for 1 semester. You can apply and they may tell you that you have to appeal..which is fill out a form which will ask you why this would be different than the last time (if you plan on trying, passing, etc).

A petition really has to do with persuasion.  A better way to go would have been to RAISE MONEY.  This school probably does not have AC because they dont have the money to buy it (no offense of course!!!  :)  ).  I would suggest a car wash or selling lemonade, and go to the princible with THAT....  good luck!  :)

I think that the option of appealing is always open to you. I'd go for it and talk to whoever will let you have your say.

It depends what you are appealing at what level-county, state, federal. In the paperwork for whatever it is you are appealing, the process should be listed. If it isn't, contact your local Legal Aid Society.
