Petition Letter
Petition Letter: To whom it may concern,
My name is Alice Torrance and I am a second year student at Queens. I am writing this letter in order to petition to late drop two courses (FREN150 and CLST 130) and to request credit standing in another (ENGL294).
I unfortunately have had a difficult time this year, especially in first semester due to mental health issues and adjusting to university. Due to these issues have had problems with motivation and energy, which lead to me missing quite a few classes.
More recently I have been reaching out to some resources (SASS, Gail Motut, Spring Forsberg, and my social worker Jasmine Grantham-Smith) and working on recognizing when I should be reaching out for help. I have also made an effort to not only work on the underlying issues but also to attend class more regularly in order to catch up, however I feel that it would be best for me to focus on my other classes this semester as I feel I have a better chance in succeeding this way.
Thank You,
-Alice Torrance
