Submit an Academic Petition or Appeal

Petition Letter: The subject of my appeal is adding a course after the academic deadline. The class I need to add is Math 121. I am in a difficult situation, as I don't have the summer course that I need (MATH 121) in order to be eligible for mandatory Economics courses next year. I found this out a day after the adding a course deadline. I understand that this is my responsibility, but for the past few weeks I haven't exactly been in a healthy physical condition and able to stay on top of things like I usually am able to. When the pandemic hit, I left Canada to visit my family in Jordan, and when I arrived I was relocated to a mandatory government provided isolated quarantine for 15 days. After that I was sent to my family, and after a few days I became very ill, putting my family and myself in a very worrying situation. I was not feeling well for a number of weeks, and was tested for COVID-19 a few days ago after showing symptoms. I thankfully tested negative. I have a medical report that documents this. These past few weeks have been a nightmare, and with my leaving campus early, and with everything that happened to me from quarantine to being struck with illness, I was not able to follow up on my eligibility for next year and correctly choose my summer courses. I had a doctor come to my home and I was diagnosed with acute tonsillitis on the 10th of April and was given antibiotics, and after continued poor health conditions and suspicion of having COVID-19, I was tested for it on the 13th of May. During these times I was not able to stay on top of things and have my typical awareness.
