Petition Letter

Petition Letter: I am petitioning to the associate dean’s decision that I need to drop PSYC 100 in Fall/Winter 2023, and credit stand BCHM 270 in Fall 2022.

I have been struggling with mental health issues that continuously worsened since November 2022. In March 2023, it affected my academic ability to the point that I was only able to commit approximately 2-3 hours per day on academics, which is only sufficient to complete one course, according to my personal ability. Meanwhile, I seek support from the mental health counselor at Queen’s student wellness services, and the drop course deadline has already passed.

Such condition has significantly impacted my academic performance and lowered my grades.

I plan to retake the dropped courses in future winter or summer semesters, and I will seek support from healthcare professionals to improve my mental health condition.

I would be very appreciated if this petition can be approved. Thank you.

NOTE from Petition's Team: see original petition #10544 and Amend #10576 for full details.
