Petition Letter
To whom this may concern,
I am asking to be added to “HLTH 101” even though the add deadline has passed. I was on the waitlist for this class and was checking very often. When add deadline ended, the class was still full. However, the next day, I saw that spots had opened up but it was too late to enroll. I had no control over this timing. I immediately emailed Prof. Fergus and he responded with this exact email: “Hi James, There is now room in the course. Please let me know if you would like me to add you to it. All the best, Stevenson Fergus, PhD, MPH.” I copy and pasted the email to try and avoid misleading anyone, but it is clearly implied that he has granted permission for me to join the course. He has not responded to my follow up emails to his email attached above.
This caused a lot of stress because I planned my summer around taking this course. I am working hard to get into law school, and every class makes a difference.
I know that deadlines are incredibly important, but the course only became available after the deadline passed. I hope you can understand that this was beyond my control, and I would really appreciate being allowed to add the course now.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this, and I hope you have a wonderful summer.
Best regards,
James Matheson
