Submit an Academic Petition or Appeal

Petition Letter: To Whom it may concern,

I am appealing to drop GNDS 215 after the drop date. I am appealing to drop the course because I was unable to finish the course due to chronic fatigue and problems accessing computers in the Stauffer library. The Stauffer Library was overcrowded with a lot of non students who were using the computers and I was having a difficult time trying to fins places to sit to study that have a computer at the desk. The is now where else on the campus to study that has computers only the Stauffer Library. The Stauffer Library was overcrowded and it was difficult to find anywhere to sit that has a computer at the desk. There were a lot of non students using the computers in the Stauffer Library so it was overcrowded. I have dyslexia and anxiety and I am having problems with doing the heavy reading in the course. The course was a research course that had research readings and textbook readings. Due to Chronic fatigue and feeling tired all the time I was having difficulty getting the heavy readings done and concentrating on the coursework because I was tired all the time.

Please consider my appeal

Sincerely

Henrietta Cory
