Petition Letter
Petition Letter: For a large part of the Fall term, I was extremely depressed (coming from COVID times didn't help). As is evident in my Fall term academics, I performed extremely poorly.
I've already applied for the Bounce Back program and I'm waiting to hear back. I'm doing everything I can to try and fix what's been done already and get back on the right track.
I need CISC 121 for my major, and if I can't take it this term, I'll be an entire year behind.
I was under the impression the deadline was the 24th of January. That is completely my mistake. But with the deadline being just barely missed, is there any way I can be added into the class? It's still open, and although there's a small time conflict with my Drama course, I've already gotten the go-ahead from Prof. Dawes via email.
I don't want to fall behind anymore than I have to as a result of being depressed for a while.
If there's anything that can be done, please let me know.

Academic Plan
Academic Plan: I've recently upped my anti-depressant dosage and I'm feeling way better. If I'm allowed to add the course to my term, I'll be sure to stay on top of everything that's coming in. I'm going to be working with a lot of the resources from the University whenever things are slipping.
I'm also considering changing programs as a possible ultimate solution (changing to a drama major). Although my Drama mark from term one isn't stellar either for the same reason.
