Dean, Graduate Studies
Bicol University, Legazpi City

Madam,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally request the opportunity to return and
complete my PhD dissertation in Mathematics Education at Bicol University.

I was not able to complete my dissertation within the expected time frame due to unforeseen
personal circumstances that compelled me to take a leave of absence from the program. While
away, I have been diligently addressing these challenges, and I now feel ready and committed
to resume my studies and successfully defend my thesis.

I firmly believe that the research I was undertaking holds significant value and has the potential
to contribute to the field of Mathematics Education. My passion for the subject matter has only
grown stronger during my absence, and I am determined to finalize my work and obtain my
PhD.

I kindly request your assistance in guiding me through the necessary steps to resume my
academic pursuits. If there are any additional requirements or procedures, I need to follow to re-
enroll in the program officially, please let me know at your earliest convenience.

To ensure a smooth transition, I would be grateful for the opportunity to meet with you or any
relevant faculty member to discuss the best course of action and outline a realistic timeline for
completing my dissertation. Your guidance and support in this matter would be invaluable to me.

I am fully aware of the challenges that may lie ahead, but I am prepared to put forth my utmost
effort and dedication to achieve my academic goals. My return to the program is of utmost
importance to me, and I am willing to work closely with my academic advisor and the
department to successfully complete my dissertation.

Thank you for considering my request. I genuinely appreciate your time and attention to this
matter. Please find enclosed any necessary documentation, and I am ready to provide any
further information that may be required.

I look forward to your positive response and the opportunity to re-engage with my studies at
Bicol University. Thank you once again for your understanding and consideration.

Sincerely,

RENATO A. DOCTOR JR.,

Student
