Petition Letter
Petition Letter: Dear Associate Dean of Studies,
I am a second year Arts and Science student and I am trying to appeal to add Health 101. I would like to add Health 101 because I
would really like to major in it. My major is now declared as Geography yet I don't want to actually major in it. I took Health 101 last year but did not receive a grade that was good enough that would allow me to major it, therefor I would just like to re take it. I have already been to 2 out of the 3 lectures in the past couple weeks so that I would keep up on the course material. As well as started to read the Health textbook.
I have been in contact at the lectures with Dr.Power, as she has given me permission to get into the class. She said that she would email you separately. I was unable to add the class because I was gone away to a family wedding in Cuba from September 11th until September 18th. When I returned on the Friday I tried yet again to add the class to my schedule but it was still full. As soon that I seen it was full, I emailed Cindy Butts and asked her what I could possibly do in my case since I was not back on campus yet and who I could further contact. I feel that by missing only one class would not affect me because I have already taken the course in the past.
If I were to be able to add this class, I can assure you that I will put lots of hard work in it, to ensure that I am able to major in it at the end of the year. I have received permission from the Undergraduate Chair, Anna van der Meulen, and as well as the Health Professor, Dr.Power, who should be emailing you very shortly.
Thank you,
Emily Murphy

Academic Plan
Academic Plan: Dear Associate Dean of Studies,
My Academic Plan would be that I will not let important deadlines slip past me. As well as that I will achieve the mark that I need in
this HLTH101 class so that I am able to major in it. In my case, my circumstance was not due to a health issue but rather a family
related problem. Which was that I was gone away and out of the country. I would plan for the future so that no other family events
will clash with anything that has to do with my schoolwork.
Thank you,
Emily Murphy
