I have just been notified that I am going to lose the ability to have financial aid due to not meeting the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). As you can see
http://forums.psychcentral.com/showthread.php?t=126044 here I suffer from depression. This caused me to not complete 67% or more of my classes, in addition to dropping my GPA to abysmal levels. I need this aid to be able to go back to school. I am seeing a PDoc and I am going to try to appeal the SAP disqualification.
This is from the appeal form:
Quote:
In the space provided below, fully describe the extenuating circumstances that
prevented you from making satisfactory progress; additional pages may be attached. Be as specific as
possible. For full consideration, supporting documentation must accompany this form. Approval or
denial of your appeal will be made on the basis of written information and the supporting documentation.
The decision can be viewed in Connections. This decision will be final.

I just need to know how to word this, I can't just be like "I was depressed and failed". I am going to get some sort of documentation from my PDoc as well. The space provided is very small, but It allows you to attach extra sheets ect.
How should I go about writing this appeal?
