Petition Letter
This petition is an amendment to the previously approved petition which was submission number 10210 with the decision made on March 27, 2023
1. I am applying for aegrotat standing in Pols 110 taught by Dr. Goodyear-Grant. I have discussed the matter with my professor who suggested I can make this application and offered her support in its approval. This is a full-year course and as a consequence of various unexpected health challenges, I missed the majority of the winter semester. Up until the start of my health issues in February, I fully participated in the course and I feel all of the primary course objectives have been reached. From mid-February until the end of the semester, I was not able to effectively attend or participate in the course and the tutorials. Without the benefit of attendance, I feel that I am materially disadvantaged if I were obligated to complete a final exam. Accordingly, I believe my situation is appropriate for aegrotat standing as opposed to an approved late drop or taking a final exam at an unjust disadvantage.
2. In the original decision, I was granted the opportunity to late drop ENGL 100 within fifteen business days, however, I requested more time for that decision and in the response from the academic petitions office on April 13, it was indicated that you could provide more than fifteen days to accept a late drop. At this time I would like to accept a late drop.
