Subject: Residence Placement Appeal Application for 2025

Dear Residence Placement Committee,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally appeal the decision regarding my residence placement for the 2025 academic year. Although I understand the criteria for on-campus residence, I believe that my unique circumstances warrant reconsideration.

As a second-year student currently enrolled in a challenging program, I have been performing well academically, though my official marks are not yet available due to my enrollment in a year module alongside only one elective module. To support my claim, I have attached a letter from my program director, which attests to my commitment and performance in my studies. I am determined to excel academically and contribute positively to the campus environment.

In my first year, I faced significant financial challenges due to a delay in the approval of my NSFAS application, which did not come through for the first six months of the semester. This situation severely affected my academic performance, as I was required to leave classes for a trip to Cape Town organized by the institution to address the NSFAS issues as an affected student. Despite these challenges, I successfully completed my first year, demonstrating resilience and dedication.

Throughout my time at the university, I have actively engaged in residence life. In 2023, I served on two subcommittees: Sports, Health and Wellness, and Culture. This year, I have taken on the roles of Vice Prime and Discipline within the Sports, Health, and Wellness committee and have also been the Corridor Prime for the Lowenburg corridor. My involvement in these initiatives reflects my commitment to the university’s community and my eagerness to contribute to the well-being of my peers.

In conclusion, I believe that living on campus will not only enhance my academic experience but also allow me to continue my active participation in residence life. I am confident that, given the opportunity to live on campus, I will thrive and contribute positively to the university community.

Thank you for considering my appeal. I look forward to the possibility of discussing my situation further and hope for a favorable response.

Warm regards,
