Question for attorneys

Not an attorney.
1. Gather all email correspondence and move to a folder in email named APPEAL
2. Find the email confirmation for dropped classes (double check deadline date) and move to appeal folder.
3. Create a doc with names, titles (professor, Dean), date and time of any in-person meetings or calls— put it in appeal email folder.
4. Search school website for APPEALS. Find the terms and conditions for the appeal process and email to yourself, then save the doc and move it to appeal email folder.
5. There should also be instructions on how to appeal and an email address to file an appeal
6. Draft an email to that address and attach the drop confirmation and doc listing meetings calls with names, titles etc (scan and attach)
7. I’d go so far as scanning and attaching all email interactions
8. File an appeal

Also ask the lawyer about getting 504 accommodations in place for your kid’s anxiety.

-lawyer

This is solid advice.

Keep us posted, OP.
