Academic Plan
Given my current circumstances and financial hardship, I would like to return to Queen's as a part-time student to show that I am capable of completing the courses I failed at previously. My plan includes retaking MATH 111, CISC 124 and CISC 223. As they are courses I failed this year, I would like to use them to bring my GPA above the academic probation threshold. I believe I struggled the most with these courses because they required time outside of class to comprehend the material and I did not use my time wisely to ensure that this happened. For this reason, if granted permission to attend Queen's, I will be reassessing my studying habits and time management skills by seeking the Learning Strategies available at Queen's.
My financial hardships will be taken care of as I would not have to spend as much money on tuition, work the same amount of hours and also have time to attend tutorials, homework help and meet with study groups. My sister will no longer be staying with me and I have decided to live with two other girls so that I don't feel anxious at home. Finally, I will book at least bi-monthly meetings with counsellors and the peer support centre as I've realized this is not something I can handle alone and the support Queen's resources give are exactly what I need. My goals for the 2015-2016 year are to come back to the level I should have completed this year and to be ready to cope with the workload of a full-time student for the 2016-2017 year. With the study aids and counselling, I am determined to be ready.
I greatly appreciate you reading this and I hope you will grant my appeal for these courses. With confidence, I know I will not take opportunity for granted and would tremendously appreciate one final chance with Queen's. Please contact me at 647 786 6255 if there are any questions you have in regards to my appeal. Thank you.
Yours truly,
