Instructions for Appeal for Reinstatement in an ACF Course

In case of dismissal from an ACF course due to excessive absences, you have two weeks from the date of dismissal to submit an appeal. The appeal must be in the form of a well-written and polished essay explaining what you are going to do to remedy your absenteeism in the future. Past absences are not to be explained. Personal issues must be omitted.

You should consider only your academic life and answer the following questions:

• What are you going to do differently in the future?
• Are you ready to make the commitment to complete the course?
• Do you understand that if you miss one more class, you will be withdrawn from the course without access to any further appeals?

The appeal essay must be submitted to the Director of the Center for Academic Development, Patricia Arteaga. You can email the essay to her or bring a copy of the essay to the Center for Academic Development. During the appeal process, you must continue to attend class.
