怎样才能写出强有力的个人陈述呢?

Once completed, your personal statement should thoroughly answer the following questions. The online petition form provides questions that will help guide you as you write your statement.

  • 你的请愿书的第一句话应该是: “我正在提交_______学期的追溯退学申请.”
    例如:“我申请从2017年秋季学期退学。”
     
  • 尽可能用最具体的方式解释这个学期是如何开始的, 它是如何发展的, 以及你的环境是如何影响你的学习成绩的.
    如果你申请退出某一学期, be extremely specific about why your problems only affected that specific semester.
     
  • What happened at that time that made it difficult for you to keep up with your attendance or coursework?
    例如:“因为我父亲在2017年1月去世了, I began to suffer from severe depression and couldn’t get out of bed to go to class or complete my homework”
     
  • 你有什么文件可以证明你的情况?
    For example: “I worked with a therapist from Wardenburg and have included her letter supporting my diagnosis and treatment and the effect it had on my classwork”
     
  • 你对未来的计划.
    What tools have you learned that will allow you to succeed going forward/what will you do differently so you will be successful?
请愿多久被批准一次?

追溯提款是官方记录的变更, therefore petitions are infrequently approved and only done so for extreme extenuating circumstance that prevented the student from withdrawing during the semester. Speak with your academic advisor or academic coach to learn all options available to you when deciding if this process is right for you.

如果我的申请被批准了怎么办?

If your petition is approved, you will be fully withdrawn from the requested term(s).

  • Earned grades will be replaced with withdrawals (W) and your GPA will change to reflect this.
    • 这最后的处理通过 司法常务官办公室 收到通知后需要一到两周的时间吗.
    • 如果批准的追溯性退学改变了你的学术地位, please note that changes to your record cannot be made by your college until the withdrawal has been processed by the Registrar’s Office and W appears in place of the earned grades on your record
       
  • 学费纠纷 是否有另一项程序由财务处完成. If approved for a 追溯撤军 you can use your official approval letter as documentation for a tuition dispute.
我的课程会从我的成绩单上删除吗?

The term approved for a retroactive withdrawal will have their grades officially changed to a "W" grade. 这些“W”的成绩会出现在你的正式成绩单上. The retroactive withdrawal process does not offer expungement of courses from student records.

如果获得批准，我能报销学期的学费吗?

学费不会自动报销. 获得批准的学生可以选择攻读a 学费争议表格 通过财务会计办公室. The official retroactive withdrawal approval letter must be included as documentation.

All tuition disputes are handled 通过财务会计办公室 and are separate from the 追溯撤军 and 本科教育办公室.

如果我的申请被拒绝了怎么办?

As a retroactive withdrawal petition request is an appeal of University procedure regarding withdrawal deadlines, all decisions are final and requests for the same semester will not be reviewed in the future. Once the official decision has been reached by the committee students are encouraged to meet with their academic advisor as soon as possible to discuss their options moving forward.

成绩替换政策仍然是一个有帮助的途径，符合条件的课程. 学生可以与学术顾问一起工作, 与每个学院的院长合作, 探索任何可能可用的其他选择. 

如果我对我的请愿书有疑问，我应该联系谁?

The official means of communication for the 追溯撤军 Petition process is via email at retrow@doorbaby.com. 

我的文件不是英文的，还会被接受吗?

The retroactive withdrawal committee will accept any documentation but unfortunately does not have access to translations. 为了文档是最强的, it is recommended for the student to have it translated by a University department, 教练, 或其他经证实的来源. 

The original document and translation should both be uploaded as documentation for the committee to review.

我的申请刚刚通过，为什么我的学期还没有被撤回呢?

退出的最后处理是通过 司法常务官办公室 收到通知后可能需要一到两周的时间. You will not be notified when this occurs so please be patient and make sure to check Buff Portal.

I forgot to withdraw but never attended my classes, can I retroactively withdraw?

Retroactive withdrawal petitions are accepted only in the case of extenuating circumstances such as health problems (mental or physical), a family emergency (such as a death in the family) and unexpected financial difficulties (such as a parent losing their job). 

Failure to verify a class schedule or confirm whether an enrollment action was processed as sole reasoning for a petition will not be considered.

我的申请被拒绝了，我能知道原因吗?

委员会对每一份请愿书都进行极其彻底和全面的审查, which includes any information available to them outside of the documentation and statement provided. 没有人能保证得到批准. 

The committee process is a completely confidential one for the students we are serving and for the committee members themselves. 因此, in-depth information regarding the committee's deliberation or context regarding the decision will not be shared. 

A retroactive withdrawal request that has be denied does not imply that a student was not going through challenging circumstances as approvals are rare. 

委员会在决策过程中考虑什么信息?

除了学生提供的信息/文件之外, the committee considers all information and records they have available to them, 包括但不限于:

  • 填妥的申请表格 
  • 学术历史 
  • Information that may be available to administrators on campus (such as Buff Portal Advising logs)
  • 有能力遵守提款截止日期
  • 以前有追溯退出程序的记录, 例如引用相同情况的多个请愿请求
  • Exceptions that are already given to the student by the University or professors
  • 问题的严重性
  • 证明学术进步
