Petition Letter: I am appealing to enrol in PHGY216 past the enrolment deadline.

Due to poor mental health, I failed PHGY216 in Winter 2023. This is a result of missing most of the weekly discussion posts, several assignments, and doing poorly on the midterm exam. However, I felt confident when writing my final exam as I was able to adequately prepare for it thanks to my mental health improving. Unfortunately, the damage to my grades had been done.

I had hoped that my performance on my final exam would be enough to help me pass the course, but it wasn't until my final grade was released that I found out that I had failed. This came after the enrolment deadline so I could not enrol in the course through SOLUS anymore.

Even if I start PHGY216 late, I believe that I can do well in the course. Since I have learnt the content before, I will have an easier time understanding and remembering the material and I am also familiar with the assignments. I am also only enrolled in one other course for the summer term, so I would be able to dedicate more energy and time to this course than during the normal school term.

Finally, I do not wish to take PHGY216 at a later time because there are other courses that I would like to take that are exclusively offered during the Winter term.
