Petition Letter
To the Academic Petitions Committee,
I am writing to request permission to add CISC 102 (Dr. Erin Meger) and CISC 121 (Dr. Ruslan Kain) to my 2025 Fall Term course load. The official deadline has already passed.
I am enrolled in the Bachelor of Applied Science, Computer Engineering stream in Smith Engineering at Queen’s. After a few weeks of study, I realized that my long-term goals fit better with the Computing, Software Engineering stream in the Faculty of Arts and Science.
When I applied from high school, I received offers from both programs. I chose Engineering first. Now I see that Computing is a better fit for me.
I cannot transfer mid-term. My plan is to apply for admission to Arts and Science as an upper-year student next year. To stay on track with the Computing program, I need to take CISC 102 and CISC 121 this term.
I know the petition deadline has passed. This happened because I only discovered my need to transfer after the term began. The timing made it impossible to act before the deadline.
I have already spoken with Dr. Meger and Dr. Kain. They told me they are willing to help me make up the missed work. I have already started reviewing the course material and assignments. I also have previous coding experience, which will help me catch up quickly.
I ask the Committee to allow me to add these two courses to my Fall schedule. I will meet all expectations and complete the missed work on time. I want to stay on track for my transfer to Computing next year.
Thank you for considering my petition.
Sincerely,
Mohammad Rajin Sharwar
