Petition Letter
Dear Dr. Stephenson,
I am submitting an appeal to add a course past the deadline. It has been a hectic semester for me to say the least, with medical school applications being due tomorrow. In the midst of things, I was misguided during the course selection period by familial matters (moving to Ottawa from Oshawa). As such, I overlooked the requirement for the Schulich School of Medicine of having 3 300-level courses or higher in a semester. I am currently enrolled in ENIN 140, CLST 204, IDIS 280, REPD 473, and LISC 594, thus missing the requirement by one course. I did not notice this until after the deadline to add/drop courses had passed.
So, I reached out to Katherine Rudder from the Life Sciences and Biochemistry Program Office and she suggested I make an appeal. I would like to enroll in BCHM 370-700, Genetics and Genomics. I have contacted Dr. Laura van Staalduinen, the instructor, for her support in enrolling and she noted that I have the prerequisites needed and thus her support.
I am hard-working, highly motivated, and would be very grateful for the chance to rectify my mistake by taking this course. I am confident in my ability to succeed in the course as well.
