Petition Letter
To Whom It May Concern,
I am filing this petition in order to change a credit I am currently in (FILM511) from a credit into the micro-credential that is offered as part of this course. I was informed of the ability to take it as a micro-credential upon beginning the course, but it sounded like there were some issues with this process (I know that even this week they were still reassuring students that it would be sorted out 'shortly'). However, I have realized during this semester that, as I will be required to take an additional year to finish my degree program, it makes more sense for me to take this as a microcredential as I will hit the required number of credits anyway as part of my plan for next year (which includes an undergraduate dissertation and multiple language courses required for my MA plans). I do not feel this is an unreasonable request, as the nature of the microcredential was unclear until recently, and I have participated fully in the course up until this time, as my professor will attest. The microcredential will be beneficial to my MA applications, on a transcript which I feel already reflects the care and effort I have put into my work over the last four years.
Thanks,
