Petition Letter
To whom it may concern,
My name is Maya Brennan, and I am currently going into my fourth-year as an Economics student at Queen’s University. I am writing to request approval to enroll in more than 6.0 units on a Letter of Permission (LOP) during my independent study abroad at IE University in Madrid.
Studying abroad has always been a dream of mine, and the opportunity to attend IE University represents an invaluable chance to immerse myself in both the academic and cultural richness of Madrid. This experience will significantly enhance my academic journey at Queen’s.
Additionally, Madrid is able to offer me a welcoming and supportive environment that will allow me to thrive both academically and personally. Its cultural and academic environment is uniquely suited to my needs, making it the ideal place for me to fulfill my exchange experience. As someone of Mexican heritage, I feel at ease with the local culture in Madrid, and my proficiency in Spanish gives me the confidence to navigate the city and communicate with the locals easily. This familiarity provides me with a sense of security and safety.
While I understand that current policy limits students to 6.0 units on a LOP during study abroad, I am respectfully requesting an exemption from this rule. Taking only 6.0 units would prevent me from fully engaging with the diverse academic offerings at IE University and would delay my ability to meet my program’s requirements within the suggested timeframe. Since IE University is a school that specializes in all business and economics related studies, the five courses I plan to take are carefully chosen to align with my academic goals and to deepen my understanding of economics in a global context. IE University is the best fit for me as it offers a wide array of courses that fit within my discipline, allowing me to meet my academic requirements.
Granting this request would allow me to make the most of this once in a lifetime opportunity, ensuring that I fully benefit from the educational and cultural offerings at IE University. I am confident this experience will profoundly impact my academic and personal growth, and I sincerely hope you will consider allowing me to exceed the 6.0 unit limit for this exceptional academic opportunity.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing back from you.
