Petition Letter
Petition Letter: Dear Dr. Stephenson,
I'm writing to petition for a late withdrawal from MICR 386 and an exam deferral for PHGY 350 to the end of the summer or to the next time the exam is offered. I have contacted both professors, my MICR 386 professor replied and indicated that I needed to file a petition with your office. I have not heard back from my PHGY 350 professor.
Over the past semester, I have been under the care of my physician for mental health issues (based on physician appointments on 23/02/23 and 24/04/23, note attached). With the help I was getting, I thought I could complete the course requirements but over the course of the semester, I struggled to keep up with the work in all of my courses and my condition affected my academic standing. By the end of the term my condition worsened and I was unable to complete the exams for the above mentioned two courses on April 15 and April 16. On the morning of April 15 I visited Hotel Dieu Hospital??s walk-in clinic, see attached note from Dr. Calder-Sprackman.
This summer, I will be coordinating with my physician and therapist on an ongoing basis to manage my condition for the fall. I will also be consulting an academic advisor to adjust my course load for future semesters.
Thank you for considering my petition,
Emma Vaillancourt (3rd year Life Science, 20212373)

Academic Plan
Academic Plan: My academic plan will include taking a reduced course load in the fall semester and will coordinate with an academic advisor as soon as possible to make sure that the plan is effective and appropriate for my program. I will also be starting a new medication this summer to better manage my condition, as well as attending regular meetings with my therapist and physician to get the support that I need.
