Petition Letter
To Whom it May Concern:
I would like to appeal the deadline to drop a class for WRIT 125, Winter 2017.
I identify as a person with serious and persistent mental health challenges and feel the learning curve of distance education, coupled with the intensity of a university level course (I'm still in college), and managing my symptoms frustrating and overwhelming.
Initially, my TA and I were able to connect to extend some assignment deadlines, however, I feel it would be best to finish my diploma program and work through my difficulties with my therapist before starting again at the university level.
Please see attached multi axial diagnosis page from my psychiatric evaluation in 2013.
Thank you for your attention and consideration.
