Petition Letter
Petition Letter: To Whom it May Concern,
My name is Michael McCue (20173690), I spoke with ASO as well as Prof. Trofimov and I was directed here by a Mrs. Forsberg after an online zoom session.
I unfortunately missed my enrolment appointment earlier in the year due to being in Halifax serving with the Canadian Navy, and I completely forgot I had to take different time zones into account. Fortunately, this situation was the exception and not the norm as I have returned to work in Ontario. I plan to transfer to Queen's Online History Degree following this semester, and HIST 231 is one of the courses that is required.
I understand that there are class limits and it would not be fair to other students to add me (I am 3 on the waitlist), however to play devil's advocate I would argue that I don't see many other students requesting to get into this course not even 12 hours after the add deadline has passed.
The Second World War is also a passion of mine academically, so getting into this class I would view as a positive double whammy.
Regards,
Mike

Academic Plan
Academic Plan: Now that my contract with the navy is up, there are no more extenuating circumstances that would affect my education going forward. Again, this request is an exception and not the norm.
