Submit an Academic Petition or Appeal

Petition Letter: To whom it may concern,


My name is Margann Tobin and my student number is 05587432. I was a student at Queen's during the 2006-2007 academic year.

I am planning a return to studies in September 2023 after a seventeen-year absence. When I was accepted to Queen's in 2006, it was a late acceptance, only two months before I started classes. I did not have ample time to consider what courses to take or my academic plan, especially since I did not think that I would be accepted.

After I started my studies, I began suffering from depression, as well as burnout. I had gone to school for fifteen years without a break. I also felt that I was not as prepared for what university courses would bring despite taking university preparation courses in high school.

I am hoping to have the courses I have listed completely expunged and/or annulled from my transcript, especially since I was only graded in one of them. I am essentially wanting to start over from scratch with the only course I passed be an extra, if possible, so as not to be detrimental to my grade point average.

Unfortunately, the professors of those courses that I had back in 2006-2007 are no longer at the university. One main reason why I am also asking this is because the degree plan I am hoping to pursue this time is completely different.

I understand that this may not be possible but, if I do not try, I will never know.

If you could send any correspondence to my personal email, I would appreciate it.


Thank you for your consideration.



Sincerely,


Margann Tobin
