Petition Letter
Petition Letter: I am petitioning the decision that add classes after the add deadline.
In my last year of study, I struggled with my mental illness, and I didn’t take it seriously therefore it is hard for me to focus on my schoolwork, and I got a withdraw for one year from school. After I talked to the therapist constantly, I got pretty good cured. And I talked to my parents again then they finally understood and supported me to study film.
On september 19th, my petition was granted by the school which I am really thankful by that. However the last day of adding courses was september 18th which is yesterday. I really hope I can get the extension of deadline.
After a long consideration I talked with the academic advisor. Here are the reasons I concluded about why I failed on my last year study:
1. I was not interested in what I studied therefore I am mentally and physically unable to achieve a good grade.
2. I added too many courses which in the end were out of my control.
3. I have no idea what I am doing and barely get advice from my professors.
4. I didn’t use the school resources like peer tutoring and always alone.
5. I didn’t update with my academic advisor constantly therefore I lost halfway through my study.
6. I didn’t pay attention to my mental health as well and didn’t realize how much it would impact my life.
7. I didn’t have strong motivation and confidence in my study.
For my future study, here are the 6 parts that I am planning to change:
1. I will change my plan from honor to general degree based on my current GPA.
2. I will reduce the course load from 5 classes to 3 classes to get a good GPA.
3. I am planning to take FILM 104&236&240 next semester to get accepted by the film major, meanwhile maintaining a 2.8+ GPA.
4. I will talk to the international academic advisor Daralyn Auld every week to keep on track on my study.
5. I will register for winter and summer classes as well in order to increase my GPA.
6. I will talk to the mental therapist that Daralyn recommended from school every other two weeks to make sure I don’t have a mental breakdown.
Therefore, I am ready to put a hundred percent effort into my next semester study. I would appreciate it so much if you gave me the chance to go back to school. I don't wanna waste any single minute. Please give me the chance to waive the dealine and add course. Thank you!
