Petition Letter
Petition Letter: Hello there. My name is Madeleine Parsons. I have just completed my second year at Queen's University under the Health Studies program and am looking to improve my GPA so I am continuously eligable for my exchange program in 2025.
During my second year, I took KNPE 125, KNPE 251 and PSYC 100 which were all difficult classes for me. I did my best to achieve reasonable grades and keep my GPA in good standing, however, that was unfortunately not the case. I worked with tutors, spent hours in the library and never missed a class, however, those three classes have brought my GPA down (2.670) below the threshold for my future host university (2.8).
I would appreciate it significantly if I would be allowed to enroll in HLTH 230 so I can do my best to improve my GPA and be on track to fulfilling my dream of studying abroad. Thank you very much in advance.

Academic Plan
Academic Plan: For my Academic plan to succeed in this course, I plan to soleyly focus on this course until its end date. I also am extremely interested in nutrition, with my future career paths hopefully working somewhere in the food sector, whether that be nutrition in athletes or creating clean food brands that support a healthy lifestyle. I am currently working a job which allows me to work two to three days a week, allowing me to be able to focus on this course for the remainder of the days.
