Dear Academic Appeals Committee,

I am writing to appeal my dismissal from the University of Tampa and request readmission for the Fall 2023 academic session. As a sophomore at UT, I take full responsibility for my previous academic performance falling short of the university's standards and acknowledge the mistakes I made that impacted my academic standing. I am dedicated to making positive changes to ensure that I succeed in my future academic endeavors.

I will schedule monthly meetings with my academic advisor to stay on track with graduation, take any necessary actions to achieve and maintain good academic standing, attend weekly 30-minute academic coaching sessions to reinforce lecture notes, and meet with professors during office hours. I am currently taking five classes at Hillsborough Community College, four of which can transfer as credits to the University of Tampa (AWR 201, PSY 101, BUS 101, ECO 204). These credits would fulfill my Baccalaureate Experience prerequisites in two Humanities/Fine Arts disciplines, two Social Science disciplines, and the final part of the Academic Writing disciplines. I plan on finishing my SPM prerequisites this summer with ACC 202. Additionally, I have been working with two UT student tutors to address my weaknesses in Accounting and
