Petition Letter
Dear Petition Committee,
I am requesting permission to register late for the summer session MATH 121 online
course. I wish to repeat this course which I took and did not pass during the fall and
winter semesters 2025/2026. This course is important for me to stay on track in my
science degree, as it is one of the requirements for my desired degree plan. I faced
significant mental health struggles during my first year, but I am committed to improving
and believe I am capable of doing much better academically. I would greatly appreciate
the opportunity to take this course this summer.
I missed the registration deadline due to personal circumstances related to mental
health. The extreme challenges of the final exam period followed by the turmoil of
relocating in several steps to return to my home province contributed to my stress and
poor mental health status. Once I had the opportunity to recover with the support of my
psychologist and checked my marks it was only then I realized the deadline had passed
(by one business day). I immediately contacted the Associate Dean (Academic) and the
instructor for the course on May 11th.
As part of my petition to add this course late I am attaching this letter along with the
following supporting documentation.
-
A letter from my psychologist
-
Correspondence from the course instructor Dr Ping Li supporting my late
registration for this course
-
Correspondence from the undergrad assistant for the course
Thank you for considering my request. I sincerely hope that my request is granted so
that I am able to take this class.
