Petition Letter
Petition Letter: To whom it may concern,
I am petitioning for an urgent resolution regarding an issue significantly impacting my academic and athletic commitments at Queen’s University.
Due to a hold placed on my account, I have been unable to register for essential courses. While waiting to be removed from a waitlist for a mandatory class I require to graduate, I was hopeful I would be added as I was first on the waitlist and am in my fourth year. This resulted in my delay in tuition payment, which was paid in full on September 16th. I have the class PHIL 247 taught by M. Krishnamurthy in my shopping cart as this is the course I wish to enroll in. However, the payment has not yet been processed, leaving me unable to enroll affecting my eligibility as a varsity student-athlete.
Given the urgent nature of my situation, I am petitioning for consideration to allow me to enroll in the required course or any other courses necessary for my academic progress. I understand it is past the course enrollment deadline, however, I request the consideration to add a course under these circumstances. Also, I would like to request that you take into account the impact this has on my participation in varsity athletics. I would appreciate remaining eligible to compete this season and due to my financial situation, I am required to be a full-time student to ensure that my tuition can be covered.
I am fully committed to both my studies and my role as a student-athlete and believe that this will help me continue to positively contribute to the university community. I appreciate your attention and am available to provide any additional information.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Samantha Mastel-Marr

Academic Plan
Academic Plan: It is critical for me to prioritize my school work. Thus, I have developed a detailed study plan that accommodates my late starts and ensure that I will be up-to-date with class materials. By reviewing the syllabus and required readings, I will prepare myself to integrate seamlessly into the course. I will continue to utilize the academic resources that are available to me. This includes tutoring, study groups, and working closely with peers to further aid in catching up quickly.
Time management is another key component of my strategy. Thus, balancing my academic responsibilities with athletic commitments requires a structured approach. I am working with my therapist to ensure that I am on track and staying accountable for my progress. I have reacted a detailed schedule that includes class times, study sessions, practice schedules, and competition dates. Therefore, utilizing my academic planning tools, I will efficiently and effectively track deadlines and mange my time. This will allow me to maintain a high level of performance both academically and athletically.
