Please describe in detail the extenuating circumstances that have led to your dismissal as well as any plan of action you plan on implementing in the future to avoid academic difficulties.
To Whom this may Concern;
I, Tracy Woodson-Mills, am writing this letter to request to be reinstated into school at South University
Online class. I was academically removed from school because I did not meet the standard requirements for the school. I failed to pass Human A & P class within three (3) attempts. During the class attempts, I had a lot of personal and financial situations going on at the time.
During the first start of class my mother became very ill, so I traveled from Chicago to Mississippi to see her. On June 12, 2012, my mother passed away and that was a very emotional time for me.
