I’m confused about what you are appealing. The third sentence says you are appealing being put on probation. Students don’t really appeal that - probation is a warning signal that you need to make some changes and improve your academic performance. Are you appealing a suspension?
This is a SAP appeal, due to my low GPA I am not given any federal aid for my next semester. @CheddarcheeseMN
You should be clear that you are appealing the loss of your financial aid.
You are telling what you plan to do if you are allowed to return.
The school likely wants to know what you have ALREADY DONE…not just your future what if plans. Have you gone to counseling to deal with your mental health issues? If not, you might want to arrange to do this ASAP. Frankly, the school likely will have an expectation that you have already taken some actions to deal with your issues. Telling them what you will do in the future…not good enough. Simply put…you never might do those things you PLAN to do in the future…and they will be throwing good money after bad.
Especially with mental health issues, colleges expect students to take action NOW…not at some point in the maybe future.
will do 
thank you @CheddarcheeseMN
okay that makes sense, I am also planning on switching my major, would that be something that should be on the letter by chance? I have already picked my schedule for the next semester, should I state that I have been reviewing those topics over the summer already? As for my mental health, I have went to therapy last summer and have been using the coping skills a lot more but I do not know what I can say that I have been doing NOW per say, my mental health is really well off so I dont know what I should do now. Thank you for your response @thumper1
Which summer did you go for counseling? 2017? If that’s the case…what happened to make you fail in 2018?
I’m not trying to be difficult…but you are appealing a financial aid suspension NOW as a result of whatever happened in the 2017-2018 academic year.
You need to tell what actions you have taken since you realized you were in academic trouble. You haven’t done that. You are describing what you PLAN to do. I don’t see anything about what you are doing RIGHT NOW that would show a school that you are currently taking action to prevent a rerun of the issues you have previously had.
You mention the following: grandma died, family worries, respiratory issues, medical bills (didn’t you have insurance? Most colleges require this), OCD due to stress.
Then your next paragraph is about all the things you PLAN to do when you are allowed to return.
Am I missing something? Where is the paragraph that says “this summer I have been attending counseling”. Or “I have spoken to my academic advisor and he is helping me formulate a course of study that is achievable”, or “I’m taking blah blah course again at my community college and I’m getting an A”.
What have you done already…what?
Perhaps I’m full of hot air, but I strongly believe THAT is what the school wants to hear. What have you ALREADY DONE…and what will you continue to do if you are reinstated.
you are full of hot hair but you replying means you care about this, so thank you. It was the summer of 2017, and the reason it took over during 2018 is because I had other tasks to do (school work and family care) in comparison to the summer when I could devote 100% of my time to my mental health, does that make sense? It was a new challenge I did not expect to face, and it was difficult for me to balance it all at the time even with the coping skills provided to me by my therapist. As for medical bills, no I did not have insurance, I cant afford it. I will put those points in, thank you for your response @thumper1
Ok…I understand.
If the issues you had caused problems after your counseling happened, you should have sought help ASAP. But what’s done is done.
Hard to believe your college does not require health insurance. Most do.
Hoping someone else chimes in with a different response than mine…
