Academic Plan
If my petition is granted and I am allowed to continue my studies, I will implement a structured and realistic academic plan to ensure I can return to good academic standing and maintain sustainable academic performance.
First, I will reduce my academic workload by taking a lighter course load, particularly in my first term back. This will allow me to focus on rebuilding consistent study habits and managing coursework more effectively without being overwhelmed. I will prioritize selecting courses strategically to ensure successful completion rather than attempting to progress too quickly.
Second, I will make more proactive use of academic support resources at Queen’s University. This includes regular meetings with an Academic Advisor to review my course selection and academic progress, as well as utilizing Student Academic Success Services (SASS) for support in study strategies, time management, and academic skills development. I will also seek assistance earlier in the term when I encounter academic difficulties rather than delaying action.
Third, I will maintain better structure and organization in managing my academic responsibilities. I plan to use a consistent weekly schedule to allocate dedicated time for coursework, readings, and assignment completion, ensuring that deadlines are met and course requirements are not accumulated at the last minute.
In addition, given the significant family medical circumstances that have affected my academic performance, I will ensure that I have appropriate support systems in place moving forward. I will continue to monitor and manage my family-related responsibilities while setting clearer boundaries to ensure that my academic responsibilities remain manageable. Where necessary, I will seek additional personal or counselling support to help maintain my well-being and academic focus.
Finally, I will be more proactive in communicating with academic staff and seeking guidance early if I experience difficulties in future courses. I recognize that earlier intervention could have helped prevent my current academic situation, and I intend to address challenges more promptly going forward.
Overall, my academic plan focuses on reducing course load, improving academic organization, and actively using university support resources to ensure that I can successfully return to good academic standing and complete my degree.
