Petition Letter

Petition Letter: To whom it may concern

I am writing in appeal to add a course after the deadline for the following reason.

I was on a waitlist for a BIOL course, and on the Friday deadline I attempted to enroll in DEVS250, unfortunately, it would not allow me as there is a timetable overlap - this does not matter, as the class is asynchronous). I reached out to Prof. Taylor and he referred me to devs.students@queensu.ca Unfortunately they could not enroll me as the deadline had then passed.


I am asking that you override this and please enroll me in DEVS250 for this semester.

Thank you,

Matthew Cassar

Academic Plan

Academic Plan: I have spoken with Prof. Taylor, and although there will be catchup work to do, he believes it will be manageable, and I plan to begin catching up as soon as I am enrolled. My current schedule has a weekday assigned to each course, so I can fit DEVS250 in no problem.
