Petition Letter
January 25, 2018
To the Associate Deans (Studies):
I am currently a second-year undergrad student majoring in economics. As of right now, I am enrolled in ECON 111, MATH 126, ECON 212, and ECON 222 and am attempting to declare health studies as my major this upcoming May. For this semester (winter 2018) I would like to appeal to add 2 courses late, HLTH 331 and HLTH 101 (online), both of which have only 1 section, and to drop ECON 111, 212, and 222.
Over the course of my undergraduate studies I have had chronic back pain and as a result, I had to take a leave from school early November of last semester (2017) until January 8, 2018, when the winter term began. Due to my illness, I had to drop ECON 111, and defer my final exam for STAT 263 until this term. I wrote my MATH 126 Christmas exam on 20 January 2018 and have finished my HLTH 230 requirements on 19 January 2018.
Early in this term, I realized that I wanted to make the switch into health but I was distracted from changing courses before the deadline as my family was dealing with my grandmother who was diagnosed with cancer only last month and taking into hospice care on January 9, 2018. Sadly, she declined very rapidly and passed away on Monday, January 22, 2018. As you can understand, this has been a very stressful time for me and my family.
For these reasons, I am seeking an appeal to add the two courses mentioned above. I have permission from both Professor Tracy McDonough and Anna van der Meulen to take the HLTH 331 and am waiting to hear back from the HLTH 101 professor. As well as drop the three economics courses: ECON 111, ECON 212, and ECON 222.
