Submit an Academic Petition or Appeal

Petition Letter: Dear Associate Dean,

I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to formally request your approval to drop the course of MUSC 171 after the deadline. I understand that this is an exceptional request, but I believe my circumstances warrant consideration.

Over the past weeks, I have been engaged in resolving an issue with my student loans agency (OSAP). This matter was crucial as it directly impacted my eligibility for future student loans, since I wanted to drop this course and take four courses instead of five. Due to the nature of these, I was unable to drop the course within the stipulated timeframe.

I am pleased to inform you that I have now successfully resolved the issue with OSAP. This resolution has clarified my financial situation, leading me to the conclusion that dropping this course is in my best interest. Continuing with it would not only affect my current academic performance but also my future plans.

I have given it considerable thought and have consulted with my academic advisor. Dropping this course will allow me to focus more effectively on my remaining courses, thereby maintaining my academic standing and ensuring my eligibility for ongoing financial aid.

I understand that dropping a course after the deadline is not standard procedure, and I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. I deeply appreciate your understanding and willingness to consider my request under these circumstances.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I am available for any further information you might need and look forward to your favorable response.

Sincerely,

Nicolas Roa
