Petition Letter
Petition Letter: I would like to add CLST204 and drop my ANAT380 class because ANAT380 has been extremely difficult for me. Within the past few weeks, I have been having struggles with my mental health and managing my course load. It has been extremely hard for me since I have had to start working long shifts in order to be able to pay for school. I find that Anatomy is extremely challenging for me and has affected my overall academic performance. For these reasons, adding CLST 204 and dropping ANAT380 will allow me to improve my mental health and overall academic achievement.
I have emailed the course Instructor for CLST 204, I have been informed that I have some catching up to do, however I am willing to the required work in order to catch up.

Academic Plan
Academic Plan: Since Anatomy is not required for my major, I do not plan on re-taking this course. In the future, I will be more careful and do more research on electives that I choose. I am currently a biology student that is planning to switch into a general life science major. With this major, I plan to apply to optometry school. This appeal will allow me to improve my gpa, which will allow me to be a more competitive applicant for optometry school.
I would also like to note that for optometry school, I need a full course load, so if I am unable to switch into CLST 204, I am willing to find a new replacement or stay in ANAT380.
