Petition Letter
Petition Letter: To Whom it may Concern,
I am applying to waive the one year removal from studies due to high stress which was a result of a lack of funds. Over the past semester I experienced an issue where my job had ended for the season, my OSAP funding had ran out and the extra line of credit I was using was cut off from my access. I had alot of difficulty coping with this, and my parents could not afford to help me as well. I chose to focus on ways to get my rent paid rather than focusing on studies at the time, and as a result faulted in my studies.
Also as a result of this I am not sure how to pay for this appeal. There is unapplied credit on my solus that I cannot access which I was hoping to use, but it seems I cannot. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Academic Plan
Academic Plan: For my academic plan I have sat down and spoken to Anna van der Meulen at the SKHS, and worked on building a plan where I can graduate either this coming June or September,with a general degree in PHE rather than an Honours degree, we also planned out all of my courses except for a few electives. I have also decided to withdraw myself from the Varsity Baseball Club so that I can focus on my studies, and i have spoke with a few of the upper year players and upper year students at the SKHS with tutoring assistance in the classes I have failed in the past. I am also starting a higher paying job this summer, and am hoping to get more work in Kingston for the upcoming school year, this way hopefully funds will not be an issue. I have also been working with my parents to plan on budgeting my food costs better for the upcoming school year.
