Petition Letter
Dear Academic Advising Committee,
I hope you’re well. I’m writing to respectfully request approval to take more than 6.0 credits outside of Queen’s during my upcoming semester abroad. My goal is to maintain a full course load while away, so I can remain on track with my academic plan and ensure timely completion of my degree.
While I understand that 6.0 credits is the usual limit, I believe taking a full course load will allow me to get the most out of my exchange experience — both academically and personally. I’ve selected courses that align with my degree requirements and have consulted with my academic advisor to confirm their suitability for transfer.
I’m committed to continuing my studies at a high standard while abroad, and I deeply appreciate your time and consideration of this request.
