Petition Letter

Petition Letter: I respectfully request your permission to Appeal on extenuating circumstances regarding my 2014 marks.

Since my University career started in 2010, I have struggled with depression and anxiety and had to take a leave of absence from school during the 2010 school year to deal with this. This has been previously documented in my Queen¿¿s file.
In 2014, I broke my ankle in Nov 2013 during the school year which spiraled my condition. I was unable at that time to function at a proper physical or psychological level to deal with my courses in a proper manner. Under my Doctors medical
care because of Extenuating medical circumstances of depression and anxiety it was a hard struggle for all of the 2014 year.

I wish to appeal on the above basis and request my 2014 following marks changed from F to NG as to not effect my GPA.
FILM 260 PHIL 259 PHIL 307
I would greatly appreciate your compassion for my earlier condition as I have struggled for years but have been able to overcome my problems under doctor¿¿s care and feel I am now in a position to move forward. I would like nothing more than to be able to continue my studies. On the positive side I feel confident I can graduate from Queens soon with only 6 units remaining and this summer as a side note I am attending the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts of a scholarship.
Thank you for your consideration
Yours Truly,
Brandon macpherson
