Petition Letter: Greetings,

I cannot afford to come to school and live here anymore. I'm switching programs to a regular non honors program so that I can graduate as soon as possible. I am behind on my honors program due to difficulties I had in my second and third year. That period of time is recorded with student wellness services. I also have permanent disabilities that affect me every single day. All these factors plus pressure from family and a potential return offer brought me to this position. I am lacking just one elective credit in order to graduate with a major in Computing. I have completed 3 internship credits, spent the time, and paid the tuition for it. If there is any way that just one of these credits can cover the deficiency. If not, I have spoken to the instructor for this course and he was kind enough to grant me permission to join his course.

Please do not allow me to wait till Fall graduation. I really only have one final term left, mentally, physically, and financially. I could barely afford the current term and I'm in debt for it already not even including my student loans. I am not doing well, please if there is any way for me to graduate this winter, please make it happen. If there is a way to make the gracious exception to use just one of the internship credits for this one missing elective credit, it would save me a lot in terms of everything (mentally, financially, and physically).

If that is not possible, then please add me to ANAT 100. I need to pass this winter no matter what.
