Petition Letter
Petition Letter: To Dr. Stephenson
I am petitioning to late drop MUSC 104 from Winter 2023. As a result of a chronic health condition, which I am registered with QSAS for, I will be unable to complete this course. This semester, I found myself unable to balance all of the demands of school, extra curriculars, and attending my healthcare appointments. The demands of this semester were unexpectedly too high, and I found my mental health worsening as I tried to manage everything. What I realized was that I was only able to realistically manage 3 courses, not 4. I have made the decision to prioritize my mental health and ability to care for myself, and as a result am not able to complete all of the courses I had registered for. Throughout the term I believed and hoped that I would be able to complete all of these courses, which is why I did not drop 1 sooner. I am actively working with my therapy team in order to maintain my health and lead me to be successful in completing future coursework.
Thank you kindly,
Cameron Valentine
