Petition Letter
Petition Letter: This petition letter is related to my requirement to withdraw from the Life Science and Biochemistry program at Queen's University for 1 year. I am writing to respectfully request a waive for my requirement to withdraw for 1 year. I previously submitted a petition, which was granted, allowing me to remain enrolled. Despite my best efforts, I am now facing another requirement to withdraw due to mental health problems. A withdrawal would significantly impact my academic journey and hinder my progress toward my goals. I am dedicated to overcoming these challenges and have looked into the Empower Me! mental health support that Queen's has in their student support. I kindly request that the commitee consider my petition to waive the requirement to withdraw for one year, allowing me to remain enrolled and continue my education without interruption. I am currently taking a summer school course in the May-June term to start getting back on track with my studies and I am committed to making the necessary improvements and ensuring that I meet the academic standards of Queen's University. Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Ethan

Academic Plan
Academic Plan: I plan to continue my education in the Life science and biochemistry program and Queen's and gradute with the bachelor of science degree. I will continue my studies full-time and will take 9 units in the fall semester and review my progress to determine whether I will be able to take on more credits in the winter semester. I am currently enrolled in Math 121 in the May-June summer term to get back on track with my studies. I will need to take BIOL 103 and CHEM 112 in the fall semester and will take an different elective due to the second year courses needing prerequisites that I may not have. A challenge I faced in the previous year was due to personal mental health issues. I plan to combat this by utilizing the Empower me! service provided my Queen's and overcoming the conflicts I have. I will be creating a study schedule and dedicate time for each subject and seek help from academic advisors and tutors to help monitor my progress and help reinforce my understanding on the topics. I will also contact the acadmic support offered my Queen's and seek guidance from academic advisors to enure that I align with academic goals. I will also need to review my progress towards my goals and be flexible and willing to adjust my plan if certain strategies are not working.
