Petition Letter: Dear Associate Dean of Arts and Science:
Re: Academic Appeal to Add an Additional Online Course to My Schedule
I am in fourth year in Film and Media Studies and have been working hard to graduate by June. I dropped one course (DRAM 211) when I decided to take a film course from Ryerson (approved in advance by Queen's), but Ryerson has just cancelled this course as not enough people have enrolled. That being said, I am now one credit short from graduating in June.
If possible, I would like to add DRAM 211 back into my schedule. I will work hard to get caught up on the first three weeks of assignments and get back on schedule.
I have been granted permission to take this course from the Manager of CDS, Maria Cardoso and from Dr. Craig Walker, the course professor.
I look forward to receiving your response.
Regards,
George Turnbull

Academic Plan
Academic Plan: I need one more course in my course load this term so I can complete my degree and graduate in June. My hope is to have DRAM 211 (online) added to my academic plan.
If my request is approved, I assume the DRAM 211 course will be loaded immediately onto my Moodle site. I will review the complete course outline and determine whether I have already missed some submission dates. If I have, I will discuss options for late submission with Dr. Walker. I will also immediately purchase the reading materials, as outlined in the curriculum.
I have taken 14 courses online (at high school, and from Queen's and UCLA) and am familiar with the technology and requirements of keeping up-to-date with readings, screenings, assignments and postings to discussion forums. For DRAM 211, the evaluation consists of online discussion forums, a personal reflection, two group projects and a peer assessment. On the day I am approved to take this course, I will immediately review all the material covered in the first three weeks of the course and begin to post in discussions and work on the assignments.
I feel I can be successful in this course if I am approved to take it given my current GPA average and my success in completing online courses in the past.
