Petition Letter

Petition Letter: To whom this may concern,

I would first like to begin by apologizing for submitting this request late. I only discovered how to handle this situation in mid-February after seeing an academic counsellor. School however had picked up during this time of the and with being in six courses, I couldn¿¿t risk falling behind because this is a sensitive issue. Hence today I am submitting an appeal regarding two courses I took in the winter semester of 2015. I was unable to complete the final exam in POLS 212 and the final assignment in SOCY 227. During this time of the year

To better deal with my situation at this time I went to see Health Services at La Salle and spoke with a counsellor. After a couple sessions with a counsellor, we came to the conclusion it was best that I not take the exam and in regards to my assignment that after I gave him the contact info for both my professors he would contact them with a letter explaining the situation. I contacted my politics professor about my situation, she replied saying she would move forward with my situation once she received documentation from my counsellor. My sociology professor never replied, I expected he would for a letter from my counsellor before proceeding. I went home that summer and saw my doctor

Attached to this appeal I have included the emails between Dr. Mike Condra (Counsellor) and I. I began CC¿¿ing his assistant Lauren Sharpe in later emails after I had to call Health and Wellness Services when I still hadn¿¿t heard back from Dr. Condra. I was able to speak with his assistant who asked me to send another email and CC her in them.
