Petition Letter

Petition Letter: To whom it may concern,

Due to a unique summer job opportunity, I was unable to attend the second half of my independent exchange through ILOP, and therefore only completed 6.0 of the 12.0 units I had planned to take. As a result, I must find a way to complete credits towards my degree during the Summer 2026 semester. Since learning about this in March, I have been on the waitlists and actively checking for space to open within the Queen's psychology courses, however, I am concerned that I will not get off the waitlist.

I have found two courses through University of Western Ontario offered asynchronously online, which would allow me to complete a significant component of my remaining requirements for my psychology minor, while providing flexibility with my work schedule.

I consulted with a Queen’s Academic Advisor to ensure that I will complete my BAH degree plan on time, and was advised that completion of summer 2026 courses will be critical to my ability to graduate on time, so I am very grateful for your consideration.

Kind regards,
Charlotte Ford

Academic Plan

Academic Plan: The courses I would take through Western online are:

PSYCHOL 2021B - ADDICTIVE BEHAVIOURS (June 15th - July 24th, 2026)
PSYCHOL 2135B - COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY (June 15th - July 24th, 2026)

As mentioned earlier, I will be working full-time while taking these courses, however, I am confident in my ability to succeed in these courses as I took 4 courses at once while working full-time last summer, and found it manageable to organize my schedule around fulfilling course requirements.
