Petition Letter
Dear Associate Dean of the Arts of Sciences,
My name is Sarah Slim and I am currently a third year Biochemistry major and Psychology minor. I am writing an appeal to waive the 21 day deadline in order to ask for Credit standing for two courses that took place in my first and second year. I believe I have the grounds for an appeal due to the ongoing struggle regarding my mental health, only of which I recently have taken a better handle of. While I still do struggle with my mental health, the maladaptive effects have significantly reduced thanks to counselling and other services offered and my prescribed medication which I regularly take. Though I have become significantly better, it took me approximately over 2 years to overcome my inability to fully cope with my mental health and make a change for my future without the overwhelming anxiety. Moreover, it also has only been until recently that I have been informed that I am able to request an appeal or even that such process exists within the school system. Therefore, due to me only knowing about this process recently and finally being able to fully take care of my mental health and state, I hope that I will be able to waive the deadline date in order to submit an academic appeal.
Thank you for your time,
Sarah Slim
