Academic Plan
This is the academic plan I’ve put together as part of my petition to return to studies. I’ve spent time thinking about where things went wrong and what I need to do differently. If I’m given the chance to come back, I’m ready to approach things in a much more focused and structured way.
Course of Study
I’m currently working toward an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Economics. I’ve reviewed my Academic Advisement Report in SOLUS and have a clear understanding of the courses I still need to complete. If readmitted, I plan to take a lighter course load of three or four classes, which will help me stay organized and better manage my time and workload.
Workload and Balance
In the past, I’ve struggled when I’ve taken on too much. This time, I won’t be working or taking on any extra responsibilities outside of school. My full attention will be on my courses and keeping up with everything consistently from the start of term.
What I’m Doing Differently
Recently, I was referred by my doctor for an ADHD assessment. While I’m still going through that process, it’s helped me understand why I’ve struggled with focus, time management, and organization in the past. I’ve already started making changes like building a daily routine, using calendars and reminders, and breaking larger tasks into smaller steps.
I’ve also started reaching out for help more proactively. I’m already in contact with Queen’s Student Support Services and I plan to stay connected with Academic Advising and Student Wellness as I transition back. I will also make use of Student Academic Success Services to improve my study habits and time management. I’ll attend office hours regularly and keep in close contact with professors and TAs when I need support.
Looking Ahead
Finishing my Economics degree means a lot to me. I’ve learned from my setbacks, and I’m serious about doing better. I want to prove to myself that I can stay focused, follow through, and finish what I started.
If I’m allowed to return, I’ll take full responsibility and make sure I stick to this plan.
