Petition Letter

Petition Letter: I am writing to formally request to add ECON 222 for the Fall 2025 semester after the add-drop deadline.

I had to take the final exam for ECON 112 (pre-requisite for ECON 222) at the beginning of this semester due to being sick the previous semester. The posting of final grades did not happen until last Monday, and consequently I could not register for ECON 222 until after the add-drop deadline.

I am a student in the Bachelor of Computing (Honours) program with a Major in Computing (Artificial Intelligence Option) and a Minor in Economics. I needed to add a minor due to the new program rules, and Economics was the only option that allows me to graduate on time. However, ECON 222 is a required course for the Economics minor, and if I do not take this class in Fall 2025 I risk graduating late.

I've cotact and get agreement with the professor teaching ECON 222 who says after I enrolled he will adjust the quiz deadlines that have already passed.

I am committed to completing any missed work and meeting the course requirements in a responsible and professional manner. Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Academic Plan

Academic Plan: Academic Plan Summary:
I am in my final year of the Bachelor of Computing (Honours) degree. As a result of the program being updated, students are now required to complete an Arts Minor. I have decided to do a minor in Economics as it is the only minor that fits in my program.

Issue:

ECON 222 is a requirement for the Economics minor.

I did not have the opportunity to add it during the add-drop period because my ECON 112 grade (prerequisite) was not entered until the beginning of this term (held over from last semester due to illness).

If I do not have ECON 222 in Fall 2025, I will be unable to complete the requirements for the minor in my program timeline and will be at risk of not graduating.

Goal:

Graduation: If I complete ECON 222 this fall and all of my remaining Computing and Economics requirements in Winter 2026, then I will complete all requirements and graduate on time.

If I am unable to take ECON 222 in Fall 2025, then I will not graduate on time and will have to stay at least one more term and not graduate until Winter 2027 at the earliest.

Request:
Permission to add ECON 222 in Fall 2025 to keep me on track to graduate within my program timeline.
