Petition Letter
Petition Letter: Dr. Dorit Naaman,
Good evening, I am hoping that I would be able to petition a late course add to the class GPHY 101 with Professor Stoller. Due to being on the waitlist but not making it into the class by the deadline of Monday of last week.
I have been in touch with the professor since the first lecture when I had asked if I would be able to receive the assignments so I would not be behind when I was added to the course. Unfortunately, the assignments were based mostly off the tutorials, so we agreed that once I was in the class I will be fine, and my marks will not be affected. However, I was only able to make it to first on the waitlist.
Since not being in the class I emailed the professor for help petitioning for the class, he had been helpful and did not mind making the exception to add me into the class if allowed. I have also emailed the Undergraduate Chair Ian Strachen, however I am currently waiting on a response.
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read this petition and I would greatly appreciate if you are able to help me in any way.
Also, please let me know if there is anything you would like me to send you in addition to this petition.
Attached are the emails between Professor Stoller, the email I sent to the Undergraduate Chair, and the courses I am currently enrolled in.

Academic Plan
Academic Plan: I am currently enrolled in 4 other classes: MATH 121/124, PHIL 111, POLS 111, and ECON 110. I would appreciate being in 5 classes so I am not behind in the following years, I have thought of ways that I could catch up on the credits but do not feel as they would be great for me.
I could either take a course in the summer or take a 6th course in one of my semesters. However, I have not done great with online courses in the past, and it would not be practical for me to take a course in Kingston, due to my hometown being in Hamilton, Ontario. With regards to taking a 6th course during one of my semesters, I feel as though it may be too much stress, and with my history of seizures I am very cautions of how much stress I endure.
