Academic Plan
At Guelph I will continue to take a more manageable reduced course load (12.0 units) in the fall. I have chosen classes with subject focuses I have previously excelled in to ensure my continued academic success. I will continue regularly visiting a therapist and have already been in touch with Homewood, a facility that offers counseling services in Guelph. I will additionally receive emotional support from family and will be living at home to reduce any stress related to financial strains; all of which are less readily available to me in Kingston.
Specifically, my degree plan requires I complete four elective courses (I have completed the courses necessary to satisfy both my Biology major and Psychology Minor). I have selected a number of courses I would be interested in enrolling in to complete my degree. For example I am interested in two psychology courses, Social and Organization Psychology (PSYC 3490) and Evolutionary Psychology (PSYC 3100) offered at the University of Guelph. Alternatively I may complete two biology courses, Lab and Field Work in Ecology (BIOL 3010) and Introduction to Aquatic Environments (BIOL 3450) offered at the University of Guelph. I have also reviewed two additional elective courses at the University of Guelph: a first year Economics course and Environmental Science Course.
I have reviewed my plan with several academic advisors and have received the approval of Jill Atkinson, Psychology Undergraduate Chair and Bill Nelson, Biology Undergraduate Chair. I have attached emails confirming their approval. These courses will be sufficient to meet my degree requirements and I feel the reduced course load and content of these will remain manageable with further support from family given my current circumstances.
I am confident that completing my degree at a University close to home will be beneficial for my mental health and will ensure my continued academic success.
