Title: New Jersey Letter of Appeal Requesting Tuition Waiver for Dropped Classes Due to Valid Reasons Introduction: Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to appeal the tuition charges I incurred for the classes I had to drop out of during the [insert semester/year] at [university/college name]. I understand that the college's policies state that students are responsible for the full tuition fees, but there were extenuating circumstances beyond my control that forced me to withdraw from these classes. Furthermore, I kindly request your consideration in waiving the associated charges based on the following valid reasons. 1. Medical Reasons: As part of my appeal, I regret to inform you that I experienced severe health issues during the semester, as confirmed by medical documentation enclosed with this letter. Due to the gravity of my condition, I was advised by my healthcare provider to prioritize my well-being and recover fully before resuming my studies. Consequently, I had no choice but to withdraw from the classes to focus on my health. 2. Personal or Family Emergency: Unfortunately, I experienced an unforeseen personal or family crisis during the semester. These circumstances required my immediate attention and left me unable to devote the necessary time and effort to successfully complete the classes. The supporting documentation provided outlines the gravity and impact of the situation on my ability to continue my education during that period. 3. Financial Hardship: In dire financial circumstances, I was compelled to seek additional employment opportunities to cover the growing cost of tuition and basic living expenses. Despite my best efforts to juggle multiple responsibilities, the demanding work schedule made it impractical to continue attending the classes to their full extent. I have attached relevant financial records to substantiate my claims of financial struggle. 4. Academic Advisor Misguidance: I recently discovered that I was misguided by my academic advisor regarding the suitability of these classes for my major requirements. Consequently, I enrolled in courses that ultimately did not contribute towards my academic goals. Upon realizing this discrepancy, I promptly withdrew from these classes. The attached email correspondences and any other relevant evidence will attest to my discussion with the advisor. Conclusion: I sincerely regret having to resort to this appeal, but the aforementioned circumstances forced me to make the difficult decision to withdraw from the classes. I hope you can understand the gravity of my situation and consider granting me a tuition waiver for the related charges. I genuinely value my education and remain committed to continuing my studies at [university/college name]. Please review my appeal carefully, and I am more than willing to provide any additional documentation or information required to support my case. Thank you for your time, consideration, and understanding.
