Petition Letter
Petition Letter: Dear Officer,
Hope you are having a good day. Please kindly consider my situation below.
I am going to be a senior, majoring in sociology and minoring in film and media. However, when I was choosing courses, I found that our 300-level film courses in this fall and winter are not suitable for me, since class time on Tuesday conflicts with my major sociology course, so I want to take a 300-level film course outside the school.
The following is the schedule for my sociology major courses in the fall: SOCY 425 Tuesday 11:30-2:30; SOCY
384 Tuesday 14:30 - 16:00. It can be seen that my sociology major is almost full on fall Tuesday. However, most of my favorite Film 300-level classes are also on Tuesdays. It conflicts with my sociology major. For example, in Film 307 and 336, lab time and SOCY major conflict; Film 308, tut time and SOCY major conflict; Film 309, lecture time and SOCY major conflict. If this happens, I can't imagine what the course result be like, I want to try my best to get a reasonable mark on each course.
In addition, near graduation, I will major in sociology at the 400 level and 300 level, and the coursework will be particularly heavy. My major will involve a lot of group work and presentation assignments, which will cost me a lot of energy. Therefore, I hope I can devote more time and energy to my major. The class I want to take off campus is an elective minor. To ensure my future academic plan(like graduating on time and successive graduation applications) moves smoothly, I need to try to make my current study progress in a suitable and organized way.
To sum up, I hope you can understand my difficulties and allow me to take an elective minor course off-campus for credit.
Thanks for your time and help.
Best,
Lin

Academic Plan
Academic Plan: Dear Officer,
The total credits for my graduation are 120 credits, 96 credits have been taken, and 24 credits are still missing. Among the 24 unlearned credits, 18 points are from my major sociology, 3 points are from my minor elective course film and media（FILM 300 level）, and the last 3 points of elective credits are being studied in summer school.
Due to the time conflict between the sociology major and the film media elective course mentioned above and the academic pressure of the sociology major in the senior year, I hope to complete the 300-level elective course of the 3-point film media minor outside the school. If I can take the credits of the optional course of Film and Media minor off-campus, I will conscientiously complete the homework assigned by the off-campus teacher without any delay. Then my course progress could be smooth. Hope you can consider my situation.
Best,
Lin
