Dear Department of Arts and Science Online at Queen¿¿s University,
I thank you in advance for your time. Please see below the extenuating circumstances around my needing to appeal the deadline to enroll in DEVS 100 for Fall-Winter 2016-17.
Summer 2016 has been pivotal for my personal and professional growth. My current living situation has changed; during the summer months, I courageously left my relationship with my live-in boyfriend and have been living independently for two months now. In August, I was presented the rare opportunity to move to Toronto and take on an advanced position with a public relations firm which would ultimately leave very little time for other priorities. As you will note, several larger decisions needed to be made in September which stunted my ability to confirm enrollment at Queen¿¿s University before the deadline. I¿¿ve since triumphed from the breakup, declined the job offer, declined the move across the country and am committed to staying in my current full-time role while having the flexibility at work to finish my degree at Queen¿¿s.
I recognize the above circumstances are not generally accepted for an appeal, however; as someone who values continuing education and respects the institution of Queen¿¿s University, I am committed to balancing my full-time workload in order to succeed in DEVS 100 as my introductory course at your school. I do wish you¿¿ll have me.
I look forward to your decision.
Warmest regards,
Nancy Ruth Deen
