Petition Letter: Dear committee,
I am writing to request credit standing in Math121 which I took in winder 2020. During the end of term/exam period, I was extremely sick. This severe sickness lasted for almost two months. I feel as though my grades were greatly impacted, as I had little energy to study and spent most of my days feeling very unwell. I strongly believe that, had I not been so sick, I would have done much better in Math121.
I am submitting this appeal late because I was unaware that requesting credit standing was an option at the time. Since I was sick for so long and dealing with stress of the pandemic and lockdowns, mental health also became a struggle for me. For these reasons, I became pretty disconnected, and I wasn??t as focused on my grades or options to appeal.
During my sickness, I visited the Emergency center at St. Joseph's Healthcare. I will include documentation of my visit in my appeal application. I am more than willing to further discuss the doctor??s notes on the document I??ve provided. As for my mental health struggles, I have visited a student wellness services mental health counselor at Queens, and I have also used EmpowerMe for additional support. I can support documentation of mental health resources if needed.
Thank you for your consideration,
Alexa
