Petition Letter
Petition Letter: A few days ago, I received the email that I failed to apply for graduation in winter 2024 because AP credits and the major required courses were the same, so it could not be taken as elective courses. Before that, my SOLUS system always showed that AP courses could be counted in elective courses, and I also met the graduation conditions (took minimum 120 credits). Therefore, I was very confused about this, then consulted the academic advisor. She told me that I must take additional three elective courses so as to obtain the BA degree in the Fall term. Since my graduate program will start at the end of July instead of September, after communicating with the graduate school admission office about my situation, they told me that I need to submit the complete official transcript and the completion letter provided by the university before July 15 to prove that I have completed all courses. In this regard, I chose to take three elective courses in Athabasca University to make up for the credits. The reason for choosing this school is that the class time is more suitable for my current situation. I can finish the course and get the final official transcript before the start of the graduate program, and I will not delay the admission time of the graduate program later. Because my situation is urgent, please go through my ILOP application as soon as possible, and approve my application if there is no problem. I would appreciate it very much! Thank you.
Academic Plan
Academic Plan: As mentioned in the petition letter, since I don't want my graduate studies to be postponed, now I need to complete three elective courses in Athabasca University to make up for the credits I used to transfer from AP courses so as to meet the requirements for undergraduate graduation and get the final official transcript before July 15th.
After carefully reading the syllabus of these three courses (CLST 201/CMNS202/FNCE249 in Athabasca University), I think the curriculum of Athabasca University is very professional also is highly recognized in Canada. In addition, although this is to meet the graduation requirements of the three courses to make up the credits, it is also an opportunity to learn a variety of knowledge and culture from these three courses. Without the pressure of schoolwork, it is a mindset that to learn more knowledge, which will make me feel more relaxed. For example, CMNS202 (which in Queens is UNSP 1UNS) can help me learn more about the development of communication industry in Canada. Although I have been studying in Canada for nearly four years, I don't have much in-depth understanding of this knowledge, so I hope I can accumulate some relevant knowledge reserves in this class.
All in all, if the ILOP application is approved, I will reasonably plan my summer vacation time, complete course tasks according to the requirements of professors of each course, and actively participate in course activities.
