What HeyGPA helps with
One goal: protecting your GPA.
Formal Appeals
Extenuating circumstances happen. Learn how to make your case for a second chance.
Academic Dismissal
A dismissal letter sounds like a closed door. It doesn't have to be. An appeal can be your key to readmission.
Integrity & AI Flags
AI accusations are a minefield. Assess your case, gather evidence, and proceed with an informed plan.
Both sides of the desk
Dr. Laura Clarridge has seen how academic decisions are made from both sides.
Laura spent years teaching in one of Canada's top universities, as a course instructor and TA, handling academic integrity issues in her own classes and seeing good students face real struggles that threatened their degree. She then opened her own practice as an educational coach, where she spent a decade working one-on-one with students, using her insider knowledge to guide them through hard stretches and appeals.
- Doctorate
- Handled integrity cases
- Years of appeal support
Demystifying the system
Here's what they don't tell you.
Myth: Appealing can make things worse.
Reality: Almost never the case with formal appeals. Schools are obligated to have fair processes, which usually include the right to appeal academic decisions. Often these aren't explained to students until they're in trouble (or at all). The worst case scenario is usually the decision you already have.
