Submit an Academic Petition or Appeal

Academic Plan: I really need this appeal in order to graduate by this year. I used to take summer courses in China to get more credits in order to graduate, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I was not able to do so. Therefore, I need to be enrolled in ECON 280 desperately to graduate on time. I will work very hard to catch up materials I missed for two weeks, I don't think it would be hard for me because the deadline for adding course is september 21, I am only one day late. My professor Anya Hageman told me in the email that she would support me to appeal my request, I could discuss with her on how to submit assignments I missed and I will catch up all materials by myself. The undergraduate chair, professor Ian Cromb also confirmed that i am eligible to enroll this course. I have only three courses enrolled right now, so I am very sure that I will be able to handle the couse load if I am enrolled to ECON 280. I have no part-time job, and I am in Kingston right now, so studying will be my only concentration at the moment. Problems that I used to have in the past was the language barrier, I had a hard time understanding the lecture, reading materials, and test questions. However, I have improved a lot by studying English very hard, I got a grade of A+ for ECON 223 during the summer which showed me determination to improve and my ability to succeed. In order to succeed this course while starting late, I will consult with my professor and ask for help regularly. I am sure that I will succeed in this course because I know how hard it was to be enrolled. Please approve my appeal, this is very desperate for me and my family, because I need to support low-income my family. I will study hard to achieve academic success, and I will make plans to study for the class material, review and complete assignments on time. Thanks
