Dear [Recipient Name],
I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the decision to avoid resit in the [Course Name] course. I believe that this decision is unfair and unjust, and I would like to request a reconsideration of this policy.
I have put in a significant amount of effort and time into studying for this course, and I believe that I have the potential to improve my performance if given the opportunity to resit the exam. Denying me the chance to resit not only hinders my academic progress but also goes against the principles of fairness and equal opportunity.
I understand that there may be certain guidelines and regulations in place regarding resits, but I urge you to consider my individual circumstances and the effort I have put into this course. I believe that allowing me to resit the exam would not only benefit me but also reflect positively on the institution's commitment to supporting its students.
I kindly request that you review my case and reconsider the decision to avoid resit in the [Course Name] course. I am willing to provide any additional information or documentation that may be required to support my request.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon regarding the outcome of my request.

Subject: Complaint Regarding Avoiding Resit in [Course Name]
Dear [Professor's Name/Department Head's Name],
I am writing to lodge a formal complaint regarding the decision to deny my request to avoid a resit in the [Course Name] course. I believe that this decision is unfair and does not take into consideration my extenuating circumstances.
On [date], I took the [Course Name] exam. Unfortunately, I did not perform as well as expected due to [state your extenuating circumstances, e.g., medical emergency, family bereavement, technical difficulties]. I immediately informed you of my situation and provided documentation to support my claim.
I respectfully requested an opportunity to avoid a resit on the grounds that:
- My extenuating circumstances genuinely prevented me from adequately preparing for and performing well on the exam. - I have a strong academic history and have consistently performed well in my other courses. - I am confident that I would be able to successfully complete the course if given the opportunity to demonstrate my understanding in an alternative assessment format.
Despite my request, you informed me that I would be required to take a resit. I find this decision to be unreasonable and unjust for the following reasons:
- The extenuating circumstances beyond my control prevented me from fairly evaluating my knowledge and skills in the exam. - I have already taken the necessary steps to mitigate the effects of my circumstances and have been actively seeking extra support to ensure my academic success. - A resit places an undue burden on me and could potentially jeopardize my overall academic progress.
I urge you to reconsider your decision and grant me the opportunity to avoid a resit. I am open to participating in alternative assessment methods that would allow me to demonstrate my understanding of the course material.
I request a meeting to discuss this matter further and find a mutually agreeable solution. Please contact me at your earliest convenience.
