Petition Letter
Petition Letter: I am writing this petition in the hopes of being allowed back into the beginner's Spanish course (SPAN 111) while also dropping the French course (FREN 118) that I mistakenly joined. On the night of the drop and add deadline, I accidentally dropped the beginner's Spanish class and joined an online French class. I believed that the French class would be good, but then after I was added to the onQ this morning, it required a level of proficiency that I am not at. Unfortunately, the online French class is not at the right level for me, and does not align with my learning needs; therefore, I am unable to participate effectively. It is clear to me that my time and efforts would be better spent trying to learn Spanish.
I have been attending the SPAN 111 class for the past two weeks and would like to be re-added to continue my studies. I have attended every lecture and have been putting in a significant effort in the class. For the longest time, I have wanted to learn how to speak Spanish, and this class has been a great stepping stone for just that. I believe that continuing in this course is fundamental to my academic growth and success here at Queen's University.
I kindly ask you to consider my request for my reinstatement in SPAN 111 while also allowing me to drop the French class. I appreciate your understanding in this situation. I hope that this mistake can be resolved quickly And effectively in order for me to get back to my studies as soon as possible.
Thank you for considering my request.
Sincerely,
Klara Jackson

Academic Plan
Academic Plan: My academic plan with regard to the Spanish class is that I will continue to do the required work for the course in addition to attending each lecture. I intend to diligently complete the required assignments and actively participate in each class. I am very interested in this class, which is why I originally enrolled in the course. I have been wanting to learn Spanish for a very long time. Due to this interest, I am more motivated to do my work and put effort into the class. In addition, if I need help with the coursework, I will go to my professor's office hours in order to fully understand the content that we are learning. On another note, the French skills needed for the course do not align with my current proficiency level. As a result, I realize I would not be able to complete the course successfully.
