Appealing to drop CISC 282(Fall 2015)
Dear Assistant Dean :
I am writing this letter to ask for appealing to drop CISC 282(Fundamentals of Web and Mobile Applications) held within the fall semester of the 2015 academic year.
I have a serious mental health condition that has required prescription medications and therapies and I had a relapse in the middle of this fall term. I only have one mandatory course this term but I registered in six courses initially because I hoped to raise my GPA. I found that I could not manage the huge workload, so I dropped one course in October, I was very confident that I will do well in the remaining five at that time. In November, my mother was hit by a motorcycle driving on the wrong side of the road while she was biking which caused her eye socket fractured. Although she had a surgery in the following week but her visual acuity is markedly reduced and will have double vision for the next few years. I was very worried and devastated that I could not prepare for the exam of CISC 282. In fact, I got more than 90 for the assignment portion, which was worth 50 of the mark. But the marking scheme is that students must achieve at least a 50 on the final exam in order to pass the course. Those receiving a failing grade on the final will be given an F in the course. Due to mental conditional and family conditional, I failed the final exam.
Doctor Amin diagnosed that I had developed anxiety due to the tough situation recently. I also had a lower abdominal pain and hematuria for the last two months, I am still not diagnosed because Doctor Arminta Rahmani at Kingston general hospital said that she will have Queen¿¿s Health Services to contact me for an ultrasound but I have not heard from them yet. I feel hard to focus because of both mental and physical illness.
PS. I submitted an appeal a month ago, I was not sure that I would fail CISC 282 at that time.
Sincerely,
