Academic Plan
Below I have prepared the necessary steps I will take to get myself back on track with my academics:
The current degree plan I am enrolled in is Life Science with Specialization. With respect to course load due to having to carry a light part time job to help aid with my finances I have made sure that I am not carrying more than 15 units this term. I have prioritized my education and thus if I feel that work and school are conflicting I will reduce the amount I work to give myself more time to focus on class. Since my main concern was paying my tuition, now that I have a concrete plan for that I am willing to sacrifice other minor conveniences to do as well as I can in class. This will not be easy but I plan to also get assistance from the Student Awards Office to help with budgeting as I am not the most financially savvy person. Also, the Student Awards Office will also help me greatly with being able to apply for bursaries that can help ease my financial burden. With that, I plan to also utilizes the Student Wellness Centre. Mental health is important to maintain and I feel that I had pushed that to the side even though it was a main factor in me making my initial decision to not register for classes. Not being too well versed in mental health and not being able to really comprehend why I go through some of these psychological problems during bad times, I feel that the Student Wellness Centre will provide me the type of support I need during my times of need. To now put myself on track with my current courses I have been doing my best to keep up with the curriculum of my missed classes. I have been fortunate enough to have roommates that take similar courses to mine and therefore I used this opportunity to get notes and resources from them. My professors will be of great help as some of the courses I am taking offer extra help after class. With all these tasks executed, I am confident that I will be back to pursuing my degree as a student at Queen¿¿s to the best of my ability.
