Petition Letter: I am requesting permission to add IDIS-173 after the add deadline. In early September I swapped sections of CISC-203 because the alternate section fit my schedule better. When I attempted to switch back, the original section was full and I was placed on the waitlist. I was unaware that Sept 15 was the last day to enroll and sI was automatically removed from the waitlist. After the deadline I could not re-enroll in either section and reached out to the professor who told me no further adds would be permitted, leaving me with only four courses.

I accept responsibility for misjudging the risk of a late section change. My intent was to manage my timetable, and I acted promptly once I realized the issue (monitoring SOLUS for openings, contacting the instructor/department, and exploring other options. To maintain5 courses and normal degree progression, I am petitioning to add IDIS-173 late. If approved, I will complete all missed work on an accelerated timeline and ensure I am fully caught up right away. Supporting material (email records and SOLUS screenshots) can be provided upon request.
