Term(s) for Academic Bankruptcy Request: ___
Attach a letter from you. Write the committee a letter explaining exactly what difficulty you experienced that led to your request for academic bankruptcy. Tell the committee why your appeal should be granted. All committee records are confidential. Be sure to sign your letter.
Provide DOCUMENTATION: For example, if you had medical or legal difficulties, include something on official stationery from your doctor or lawyer. Letters on official stationery and or photocopies of official documents are best. In many cases, the committee CANNOT grant your appeal unless you provide documentation to support your appeal.
Letter from your advisor (optional): Ask your advisor to write a letter to support your appeal and send it to Dr. David Benders in Exum 226. If your advisor is not available, find your advisor's chairperson or dean and ask him/her to review your appeal. Although not required, such a letter may improve your chances of having your appeal granted.
Turn in your completed form, letter, and documentation by the deadline: You must have not been enrolled at the University for a minimum of two years prior to declaring bankruptcy. This appeal must be returned to the Office of the Registrar, Academic Services Building, Suite 323, Kentucky State University, Frankfort, KY, 40601. If you have questions please call (502) 597-6234. Fax number (502) 597-6239.
