      2.   Obtain a letter of support from a faculty or staff member of your college or university which states how you will be connecting with support offered through their office or department that will aid you in attaining your 2.5 GPA and full time enrollment. Attach this letter of support with your appeal. If you don’t know of support offices at your University, contact the BCLL for support.
