Petition Letter: Dear Academic Advisor,

I hope this letter finds you well. My name is Renjie Liao, and I am writing to you today to request permission to drop the CISC 454 class, despite the academic deadline having passed.

As a student enrolled in CISC 454, I am committed to pursuing excellence in my academic endeavors. However, I find myself in a challenging situation this term. The workload for CISC 454 has proven to be far more demanding than I anticipated, and I have been struggling to keep up with the required study hours while balancing my other commitments.

Additionally, I am dealing with a long-term psychological issue that has further exacerbated my ability to cope with the demands of this course. After careful consideration and consultation with my support network, I have come to the difficult decision that it would be in my best interest to postpone taking CISC 454 to a future semester. This decision may also lead me to reconsider my major plan in the future.

I sincerely believe that dropping this class will allow me to allocate more time and energy to my remaining four classes, ensuring that I can excel in them and maintain a satisfactory academic performance overall.

I understand that dropping a class after the academic deadline is not a decision to be taken lightly, and I assure you that I have weighed the consequences carefully. I am fully committed to fulfilling all the necessary requirements to demonstrate my dedication to my education.

I kindly request your understanding and support in granting my petition to drop CISC 454. Your assistance in facilitating this process would be greatly appreciated and would provide me with the necessary relief to navigate this challenging period effectively.

Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to your prompt response.

Warm regards,
Renjie Liao
