Submit an Academic Petition or Appeal

I would welcome a second chance in the Faculty as an opportunity to improve myself; I would take a reduced course load, participate more actively in study groups, seek academic assistance by consulting with an academic advisor consistently, find a tutor, acquire better learning strategies for effective time management and study skills and finally ensuring to always be present for every lecture and tutorial. I will also be seeing a medical professional or personal counsellor on a regular basis to help cope with my personal ailments. Additionally I am currently taking a summer online course (PSYC 205). I think enrolling in the Bachelor of Arts (BAH) program will be especially beneficial for me since my GPA did improve from first year. I plan to get my grades up and enrol in Genders, Psychology and other arts courses so that I will be able to apply for a Bachelor of Arts degree. The PSYC Arts Major with GNDS Minor, and the PSYC, GNDS Medial are particularly intriguing to me. By taking arts courses, I wish that this field will appeal to my strengths and ensure my academic success. I hope that with this change in my academic plan and the personal adjustments I've made in my personal life that this will address my poor academic performance and support my academic goals. I am extremely committed to Queen's University and I hope that the Faculty will give me the chance to pursue my dream, especially considering the fact that I suffered from extenuating circumstances that were completely beyond my control.

I will be happy to answer any questions that you might have. Thank you very much for taking the time to review my request.

Sincerely,

Raychel Husin
