Petition Letter
Petition Letter: Dear Associate Dean,
I am writing this appeal as I have recently suffered a traumatic event that has hindered my ability to complete my exam this semester. My best friend and housemate, whom I have lived with for the past three years, attempted extreme self-harm on Monday, April 6th in our home. As my housemate is from Vancouver, my other three roommates and myself stayed with her in the hospital for several days until her parents arrived, watching over both her physical and mental condition on a constant basis. Due to these circumstances I have found it extremely difficult to concentrate and focus on even simple tasks, and my sleep schedule has been severely impaired. Due to the violent nature in which my friend acted within our home my roommates and I have felt unable to return to our house and have been temporarily residing in varying locations. This has interrupted my normal routine greatly. Under these conditions I would be unable to properly demonstrate my knowledge in an exam setting at this time. I am graduating this year and applying to graduate school in the fall, so it is imperative that I'm able to graduate on time with marks that reflect the effort I've dedicated to my courses throughout the semester and my entire academic career at Queen¿¿s.
I am requesting AG status, as encouraged by my Professor, for PSYC 352. I do not need AG status for BIOL 321, as I did not have any final exams or projects for this course, or ANAT 270 and PSYC 235 B, as my Professors have agreed to reweight the final exam. This way I would be able to graduate on time without my marks being severely impacted. I unfortunately must write the PHAR 100 exam as it is worth 60 of my final grade, so I do not apply for AG status and my Professor has not agreed to re weight the exam.
Thank you sincerely for taking the time to read this appeal.
Best wishes,
- Corinna Agnelli
