Petition Letter
I am petitioning to swap STAT 161 with PHAR 100 (Online) after the Academic deadline because due to the status of my mental health at the time before the deadline, I was unable to. I do not need STAT161 for my degree plan, and by continuing to be in the class has begun to severely effect not only my mental health but also my academic performance of not just STAT161 but also my other courses. In order to maintain a good GPA, I cannot stay in a course that continuously brings down my academic performance and mental health. STAT 161 is not the course I believed it to be, and the course has begun to overwhelm me mentally, and I am no longer engaged with the course content. It is not a requirement for me to be in this class, and given the opportunity I would like to switch out as I am concerned for my mental well-being should I continue to engage in a course that is affecting my mental health and academic performance. In order to get into my degree plan for next year, I need to maintain a good GPA, and I would like to have the best possible chance to do this in the right mindset and performance. This is my formal petition to swap STAT 161 with PHAR 100 (Online).
