Academic Plan
ACADEMIC PLAN
In terms of an academic plan, I have already set in motion actions that I believe will help lead me to success this term. As touched on in my letter, I have taken initiative to review and keep up with the work of GNDS 412, which I intend to enroll in place of GNDS 375 should my appeal be granted. I have also been in contact with the professor who has expressed willingness to accept my later addition to the class.
At the time of this appeal, there may be IN notes on my transcript from the previous term. However, to clarify, all work for those courses have since been completed and the final mark is just pending update on SOLUS. In addition, with regards to the extension of GNDS 345, I have been in contact with the professor and should my appeal be granted, would only have one assignment left to submit in that course. Therefore, I have very little in terms of previously incomplete work to stand in the way of my focus on the current term¿¿s courses. I have made myself thoroughly aware of the work associated with my proposed course load and believe it to be an achievable one, which I have also discussed with the department.
In addition, I have taken steps to build a support system for myself in light of my family situation. My mom¿¿s condition is more stable now and I anticipate a relatively lesser strain on my academics this term, although I am fully prepared to seek help with the university counselling services should I feel the need for additional support. Although my situation is ongoing, my methods for coping are also evolving and believe that I am well equipped to complete the proposed course load in my appeal this semester.
