Submit an Academic Petition or Appeal

Petition Letter: June 16th, 2015

To the Associate Dean (Studies):

I am appealing to have my PSYC 203, ECON 110, and ENGL 200 grades changed to a CR credit.

Ongoing health issues have impacted my ability to perform my best academically. During this past April, I was granted an appeal to drop two courses after the drop deadline was reached. I chose not to drop these three courses, as two are core courses for my medial and I am interested in switching into the other. Please use my previous appeal as a reference in regards to medical information.

As stated in my first appeal, the post-concussive symptoms that I had experienced made it difficult for me to focus and complete coursework. I chose to continue my studies because I felt I was already invested in my courses emotionally and because fear of falling behind in school. As a result, my final marks in these classes are not to standard and I do not think it is fair for my health to impede on my academics.

For future semesters, I plan to take lighter course loads as I am still recovering from my health issue.

I hope that you take my case into serious consideration.

Thank you,
Rachelle Joyce Lunar
