Submit an Academic Petition or Appeal

Petition Letter: To Dr. Johanne Bénard:

I am a fourth year Stage and Screen student here at Queen¿¿s University. I am writing to appeal adding the course FILM 400 ¿¿ 003, Fall 2016.

This course was my first choice but initially did not fit my schedule. A lab time was tweaked by the university so I was able to make it work. This course is also necessary in my graduating, as well as on a subject I take interest in and believe I can learn a lot from. I was late in meeting the add/ drop deadline due to an illness causing my arrival to Queen's to be delayed by a week. See doctors note attached. I had missed the first week and along with that, the reminder of important dates from my professors, which would have included the add date.

I have been attending the class I wish to be added to since week 3 and have received permission from the professor. I continue to do the readings and homework and even hand in assignments. I do not feel as though I am behind in the course and have made an easy transition into the learning style and plan to achieve the learning goals of Film 400 ¿¿ 003.
