Petition Letter
Petition Letter: Dear Dr. Jenn Stephenson,
I am petitioning to add STAT 263 (winter, 2023) passed the add course deadline this term.
While scheduling my courses this term, I came across the issue of not performing well enough in a prerequisite required to take a mandatory course for my major, ECON 351. In order to take ECON 351, I need a minimum of a C in STAT 263. I took this course fall 2022 and received a D. Upon realizing my shortcomings, I emailed undergraduate Chair of Economics, Professor Ian Cromb. He informed me that the economics department does not waive prerequisites and told me to retake STAT 263. I then emailed Ms. Auld and asked her to add me into STAT 263 despite already taking the course. Ms. Auld did this and I was added to the course in the first spot on the wait list. I waited until the final day to drop a course without financial penalty and a spot never opened up. I asked Ms. Auld how to proceed and she informed me that there were now two spots available and that I could file for an academic petition.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Jillian Hay

Academic Plan
Academic Plan: Upon my late admission in to STAT 263, I will catch up as soon as possible. When I initially took the course I was performing well until the final exam which I had to defer due to extenuating circumstances. I did not perform to the best of my abilities on that exam and because it was so heavily weighted it resulted in a D grade. Taking the course this time, I will already be familiar with the course concepts. I can look at my previous notes to catch up as I attended all the lectures in fall 2022. Taking this course in this term will allow me to complete ECON 351 in fall 2023. This will allow me to graduate in winter 2024 as I have been hoping to do since I started Queen??s in fall 2020.
