When to use this form

Use this form when you need a structured way to request a review of a decision and provide evidence. Students can challenge a grade, fee, or conduct ruling and attach policy citations, emails, and a timeline; for campus-specific requests, the Academic petition form fits well. Residents can dispute a citation or permit denial by uploading photos and a concise letter; draft the letter with the Petition letter form, then attach it. Teams and nonprofits can ask a board to reconsider a funding cut, include stakeholder statements, and set a response date. The result: a clear record, required details captured the first time, and a signed submission that speeds a fair review.

Must Ask Appeal Questions

  1. What decision are you appealing, and who made it?

    This identifies the ruling, date, and authority so reviewers can route your case fast. Clear scope reduces back-and-forth and speeds review.

  2. What outcome are you requesting, and why?

    Stating the exact remedy (reversal, adjustment, payment plan, exception) guides evaluators and shapes their response. A brief rationale connects your ask to facts or policy.

  3. What facts, dates, and policy references support your case?

    Specific events and citations let reviewers verify details quickly and spot errors. If community impact matters, summarize data you gathered with a Community needs assessment form.

  4. What evidence are you attaching?

    Listing documents (emails, notices, photos, receipts) helps the reviewer see a complete file. It also prevents missing files and avoids delays.

  5. Who else is affected or supports this request?

    Named stakeholders and supporters show scope and urgency. To collect signatures that prove support, share an Online petition form with e-signature form and attach the summary.
