Default Change in schedule = "The reason for quitting was personal"? Florida

Due to a change in schedule, I was unable to continue working at my position at a law firm in Florida.
Despite wanting to continue working, my employer could not accommodate my schedule b/c it did not fit into their traditional 9 to 5 monday through friday hours even though I was still readily available to work both a full-time or part-time position.

After applying for unemployment, I waited 7 weeks and received two separate letters from the Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation explaining why I was being denied unemployment compensation.
The first stating:
"The claimant quit to attend school. The reason for quitting was personal."

The second:
"The claimant is not available for work b/c of restricting availability to part-time work. This claim for unemployment benefits is based on wages earned in full-time employment."

I'm in desperate need of unemployment. I did give my 2 weeks notice, can provide my school schedule and letter of resignation to HR stating my enrollment in school. I'm currently in the process of forming my appeal and am EXTREMELY curious if any suggestions or recommendations are out there.
