Grade and Standing Appeal Letter Writing Workshops:
The RSU and CESAR will be holding appeal letter writing workshops. To get the most out of these letter writing seminars, please pick up a grade appeal information package from the RSU or CESAR, and use the template letters included to get started on your appeal letter. Please bring a draft of your appeal letter to these workshops. You will be working with your advocates and other students to learn how to prepare a strong case for yourself.
Students who require extra help may have the opportunity to meet with an RSU or CESAR advocate one on one on a first come, first served basis, only after you have attended a letter writing workshop.
All workshops will be held in the 1st or 2nd floor of the Oakham House (63 Gould Street, at Church). Be sure to bring a draft of your letter so that it can be reviewed independently, with peers, or with an advocate.
