Subject: Petition for Late Course Addition and Approval for 7th ArtSci Course
Dear Dr. Stephenson,
I trust this email finds you well. My name is Zanthy Diner, a fourth-year Con-Ed student majoring in French. I am reaching out to you to formally petition for the addition of a course beyond the academic deadline.
The reason for this late petition stems from the recent revelation on January 22nd that I had failed a course from the fall semester. Unfortunately, this information was only made available to me on that date, preventing me from taking immediate action at the commencement of the winter semester to rectify the missed credit.
Given that I am in my fourth year and scheduled to graduate in June, it is imperative that I fulfill this outstanding French credit worth 3.00 units. I have already sought and obtained approval from Professor Rouget to join his course, FREN304, and have familiarized myself with the syllabus and required readings. Additionally, I have liaised with classmates who graciously shared their class notes from weeks 1 and 2, ensuring that I am now current with the material.
To further support my case, I have met with Professor Lefort-Favreau, the undergraduate chair of French studies, who expressed his approval and support for my inclusion in this course.
Simultaneously, I am petitioning to enroll in a seventh ArtSci course, acknowledging the potential workload implications. Recognizing the gravity of this undertaking, I assure you of my full commitment to successfully navigate this course load. I am prepared to dedicate my time exclusively to classes and schoolwork, having no other work or extracurricular commitments this semester.
I would like to bring to your attention that, although I currently lack recent medical documentation, I possess a doctor's note from the previous semester. This document attests to the necessity for me to write my FREN498 exam ahead of schedule, citing the substantial impact of the situation in Israel on both myself and my family. It is pertinent to mention that this circumstance significantly contributed to the challenges I faced in FREN394, the course in which I unfortunately experienced academic difficulties and ultimately failed.
I kindly request your understanding and support in granting permission for the late addition of the French course and approval for the seventh ArtSci course. Your consideration in this matter is highly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Zanthy Diner

Academic Plan
Academic Plan:
While I take pride in being a responsible student with no history of course failure, the challenges I faced last semester due to the profound impact of the current war in Israel on my family life were significant. This personal turmoil affected my ability to prioritize academic responsibilities. Although the situation has not improved, I have found coping mechanisms and am now in a better mental space, fully committed to concluding my degree on a positive academic note.
As previously mentioned, during the current semester, I am exclusively dedicated to my academic pursuits, with no additional commitments. Consequently, I intend to utilize this period judiciously, focusing on managing the demanding course load efficiently.
To facilitate my academic endeavors, I have established study groups for all my French classes this semester. This collaborative approach has proven instrumental in maintaining a structured academic trajectory. These study groups have served as valuable forums for the exchange of class notes and the collective sharing of insights gained from our respective coursework.
