Petition Letter
Petition Letter: Hello,
My main reason for requesting to drop this course (PSYC 241) past the academic deadline is because I discovered recently that this course no longer counts as a credit towards my degree. Back in July, I emailed my supervisor academic advisor listing out all the courses I was planning on taking this semester, but didn't ask specifically whether PSYC 241 would could as a natural science credit, I just assumed that she would let me know but this was a big mistake on my part. She didn't mention anything about it not counting as a natural science course so I assumed it would count as a natural science course. Just last week, I requested for my degree audit to plan for next semester, and discovered that PSYC 241 doesn't count as a natural science course. I have filled all my elective slots as well, so this course wont fill any requirements towards my degree. I have discussed with both Vanessa from SKHS Undergrad and Anna from the SKHS Undergrad Chair, and it seems that requesting to drop this course past the academic deadline would be my best option to resolve this issue.
Thank you for your time,
Val

New Information: Hello,
To add on to my extenuating circumstance, next week I will be getting a surgery abroad for an injury that I have suffered from. This has also become a concern for me academically as I'm worried I won't have enough time to complete all 6 courses due to physiotherapy and recovery from my health condition. It would be very beneficial for me to drop PSYC 241 and to just focus on my other 5 courses as I already have a high workload, and with this surgery I'm worried I will do poorly in my 6 classes. I have attached proof using the surgery bill provided as well as an air ticket purchase.
Regards,
Val
