Submit an Academic Petition or Appeal

Petition Letter: Good morning, I am writing to appeal for a late drop for several of my classes last semester. I had major mental health struggles which I was finally able to seak help for thanks to the queen's university student wellness centre. I have bipolar disorder type 2. It was very bad during my first semester before I knew what was wrong with me I was submitting work and studying but nothing was staying in my head I was massively sleeping deprived or oversleeping. I have received medication in December 2019 that has helped me get back on track with my studies in the second semester. This is why I would like to request a late drop for PHGY 215, CHEM 281 and BCHM 218. I am going to be retaking those classes over the summer and the second semester wasn't any easier because sadly I faced sexual assault from another student and needed therapy for that so my grades weren't amazing but as you can see I finished them with decent marks. I have an online appointment with my doctor from student wellness who is willing to provide paperwork for any of this she is just wondering what you guys are looking for her to write up. Thank you very much. I also understand today is may 1st and the final date to make this request was yesterday but I had started writing this up weeks ago it's just been so hard to be able to put it into word because my own family doesn't even know about any of this only the student wellness therapists and two friends. Thank you for your time in reading this I hope to hear back soon
