Petition Letter
To the Associate Dean,
I am writing to petition the course drop deadline for several courses. I could not complete these courses at the time due to serious extenuating circumstances.
In my first year, 2004, my father suddenly passed away from cancer. I subsequently fell ill with an ongoing medical illness that reduced my physical capacity and cognitive function. My condition fluctuated during this period along with my ability to meet a full course load. The illness harmed my academic performance—reducing focus, memory, and decision-making ability.
Ultimately, I would like to submit a petition to drop the classes I did not attend for the duration of my illness. These include:
• POLS 450, 2009 Fall
• POLS 332, 2009 Fall
• PHYS P20, 2009 Fall
• POLS 456, 2010 Winter
• POLS 410, 2010 Winter
• STAT 263, 2010 Summer
• MATH 121B, 2010 Summer
• ECON 222, 2010 Summer
• POLS 456, 2011 Fall
• STAT 263, 2012 Winter
• STAT 263, 2013 Winter
• HIST 125B, 2013 Winter
Thank you for your time,
Laura Bouchard
