Petition Letter
Petition Letter: Hi. I want to switch from socy 309 to socy 300. I was in the waitlist of socy 300 and I kept checking my waitlist position every day. On the last day (Friday, Jan 22nd), there were finally three available seats but I found out that I could not enroll it because of the time conflict between socy 300 and socy 430. If I dropped socy 309 directly, there would be only two courses on my solus so decided not to drop first but sent emails to solus and my department asking for help to swap. I understand that it is now late to make changes. However, everything happened on the last day which was completely out of my control and it was difficult to receive a reply from the office immediately on Friday. Therefore, I am now appealing to switch from socy 309 to socy 300, which is a course I have been waiting for so long to get into.
Academic Plan
Academic Plan: I want to take socy 300 because I am very interested in this topic that I waited for two years to take this course. This is a completely new topic which is different from all the socy courses I have taken before. Also, since I am a 4th year student, there are not many courses for me to choose now. Among all the available socy 300 level courses this term, only socy 300 has a different timeline from my socy 430 seminar course. I believe that having courses with different time schedules would be better for my academic performance. Otherwise, it would be really busy at a certain period of time.
