Petition Letter
Dear Psychology Undergraduate Chair (ugchair.psyc@queensu.ca)
Due to extenuating circumstances since January (I am registered under QSAS should you need to reach out to them for further clarification) and recent COVID sickness I have been facing, the course instructor for PSYC 305 Comparative Cognition Mary Olmstead is supporting me, as outlined in a recent email, for a late drop without academic penalty. I also agree with her this is the best decision which is why I am appealing for a late drop now. It is best for me academically, so I do not fall behind on my other courses, and mentally/emotionally/physically as related to my extenuating circumstances. I have learned that sometimes taking less courses is better, to reduce the workload, and no need to feel rushed into getting all my courses done so I can graduate. Especially with my unforeseen circumstances related to covid, it is absolutely crucial for me to drop. It has affected me in ways in which I have been unable to live about day to day life properly which is why I decided to seek out long-term counselling/support from school. Overall, dropping 305 is the best decision for me to move forward. Thank you for understanding Have a good day.
Sincerely,
Grace Chen
