The purpose of this letter is to show cause why my enrolment should not be cancelled. Due to my abysmal performance on one of my courses, I received a rather disappointingly low GPA this semester. Another issue I did not consider was the fact that I received a warning on my last semester (which dates back to 2009), it completely slipped my mind and I made the grave error of assuming that the slate will be wiped clean this semester. Nevertheless I am not making any excuses and I accept responsibility on my performance. I am normally a very diligent and hardworking student but due to a number of difficulties last semester I did not do well enough on PSYC1040. But rest assured that I have taken the necessary steps in overcoming those difficulties and I am very confident that I will do better and not fail again next semester and the ones after it.
Several factors can be accounted for that contributed to my poor academic performance last semester. I feel that the accumulation of these problems made me lose focus and in turn resulted in my failure on one of the courses. We recently moved houses in the middle of the semester and I am sure you can sympathise on the taxing effort it takes both physically and mentally in doing so. It was a very busy week and to cap that off I had to adjust to the new surroundings as well as the routes of public transport. As someone living in the Gold Coast this affected my travel routines to the train station heavily.
