Documentation must be provided. All appeals should include a legible statement that includes the following:

    • Clearly explain how the circumstances prevented you from meeting SAP Standards. Provide relevant dates and address semesters in which you demonstrated poor academic performance.
    • Explain how you will be able to meet the SAP Standards in the future.
