B. Explanation of Extenuating Circumstances:
In Second year in 2022 in Winter term 2022, the circumstances started in February 24 when I was outside the home then after I came to the our apartment someone broken the my door, so then after that I called the police to see the situation to see if they can know the person but they didn't know the person because the person escaped, so then in that day I slept outside the apartment in one my friend house until I to see what I should do, so in that situation I was scared from the situation and I not feeling well and not slept well so and then and I stayed in my friend house for week and half and in March 5 then I left Kingston because it was online classes so I went to my family in Toronto to stay there until I find a different place, then it is was difficult to find a place in that time because middle of the term but in first week in April I found a place in Kingston in An Clachan apartment is safer and with roommates which is more secure then I started moving my stuff so it took time from me to move, so about my courses in that term I was trying to deal with class but missed some of them and for homework missed some of them also and same for Quizzes or tests missed some of them so then I spoke with the professor about my situation but it doesn't help they was need academic consideration so then I started to spoke with consultation with a health-care professional in March 28 to help me in my situation and she helped me a lot so she gave me verification of confidential extenuating circumstance From 4-8 weeks and then I applied for academic consideration then I received the approval from the academic consideration team on April 6 and the period from February 24 to May 23 2022 and then for I received the academic consideration April 6 after the term finished so it was difficult to deal with the missed the homework and quizzes and tests which this weight a lot marks so most of this weight shifted to the final exams most of the finals exams was more then 50% weight which a lot and other courses that have not finals they give me extend for homework and tests was a lot weight until May 10 but I was very difficult to understand the content after I missed a lot of classes so was hard and same for the final exam and same month in April it was Ramadan and then Eid for me which is Muslim so we Fasts and prayed more in night so I go late to sleep so it affect me when I was need the time to Study, so at the end I finished all the courses not well which was all the grades is F failed, which I will be very happy if the courses will dropped.

Why didn't you drop the course earlier?

Because I didn't expect what would happen with that time, I thought I could finish the course.



In my third year 2022, in the Fall of 2022, the circumstances on October 25, when I started to work as an employee at Walmart, I needed to work to cover my tuition and fees, so I was working 20 hours a week, which I thought was acceptable for five courses but is not OK because it was challenging to study and work in the same time. Therefore, there was not enough time to study, which affected me after the long term for five courses, so I considered dropping one course before the deadline. Still, I missed it because I felt that I needed the course to raise my GPA and for credit, so in the end, I know it is not a substantial reason, but I know how important I need to drop these courses.

What I need for every course:

For Winter 2022:

- CISC 271, Winter 2022:
- I have missed essential assignments because they have high-weight marks and quizzes, and there is no final exam for this course.
- I need DR to drop the course after the academic deadline.

- CISC 204, Winter 2022:
- I have missed essential assignments because they have high-weight marks and quizzes, and there is no final exam for this course.
- I need DR to drop the course after the academic deadline.

- CISC 124, Winter 2022
- I have missed essential assignments because they have high-weight marks and quizzes, and there is the final exam for this course.
- I need DR to drop the course after the academic deadline.

- CISC 220, Winter 2022
- I have missed essential assignments because they have high-weight marks and quizzes, and there is the final exam for this course.
- I need DR to drop the course after the academic deadline.


For Fall 2022:


- ECON 111, Fall 2022
- I need DR to drop the course after the academic deadline.

- STAT 268, Fall 2022
- I didn't see my mark for the last four assignments of 6 to review in the course, and we got the mark late after we finished the final exam, so I can't know when I can improve myself in the course.
- I need first option 1: a review of the instructor, sconed option 2: DR drop the course after the academic deadline.

- CISC 124, Fall 2022
- I need Credit standing CR.




C. Future Plan:

Hi, I hope to provide you with an overview of my goals, expectations, and strategies for success.

A. The focus of your studies:
Firstly, I would like to focus my studies on a specific field of interest, which is Major Mathematics passion for this program has been growing since I started my undergraduate studies, and I have dedicated a considerable amount of time to expanding my knowledge and skills in this area. I believe that a more focused approach to my graduate studies will enable me to make significant contributions to this field and prepare me for a fulfilling career. And I reviewed and will review every term for courses I need for my program, the units and what GPA I need to finish my degree in the academic advisement report in solus and with the academic advisor.

B. Your expectations or intentions with respect to your workload:
Regarding my workload, I am fully committed to achieving excellence in my academic pursuits. I plan to devote significant time and effort to my coursework and extracurricular activities. I understand this may require a more rigorous schedule, but I am confident I can manage my time effectively and prioritize my responsibilities accordingly. And I plan to study Full-time every next term because I am late and need to graduate, and I need to raise my GPA to more than 1.6 to graduate. I will try not to work while I attend throw the term or work less than 10 hours per week, and I need five courses or 4 for every term. I will see the best course for every term, and if I need it, I will ask for help from the faculty.


C. Strategies for success:
I plan to implement several strategies to ensure success in my academic endeavours. I intend to set realistic goals and deadlines for myself, which will help me stay motivated and focused. Additionally, I plan to seek guidance and feedback from my professors and advisors, as their expertise and insights will be invaluable to my success. And I will work hard to maintain a healthy work-life balance and manage my time better for courses. I will learn strategist in student academic success services and speak with an advisor if I need help. If I have a circumstance, I will apply for academic consideration. I will ensure that I follow the deadline of the drop, think very well before it passes, follow up with an advisor about the courses and the GPA and remove the Academic Probation.


I hope you will consider my petition to approve my future plans. I am committed to pursuing excellence in my academic pursuits and believe that a more focused approach to my studies will enable me to achieve my goals. Thank you for your time and consideration.
