Petition Letter
Petition Letter: Hello,
I am in fourth year, intending to enter a fifth, and I have changed my plan a bit. I would like to potentially enter law school, but I believe my GPA will bring me down overall. I would like to retake some courses to bring it up, as it is necessary, but I have been informed that if the course is not offered anymore, there’s nothing I can do. However, I truly do need to bring up my GPA, and I have a feeling due to arts and sciences cuts, many will not be offered again.
I would like to put in a request to take whatever equivalent courses I am able to take to remove the courses I did not do well on from my GPA. I would be willing to take anything necessary course-wise to fulfill this requirement.
Thank you and I look forward to hearing your response!

Academic Plan
Academic Plan: I intend to take as many courses as I can to resolve those I did not do well in. Right now if I only get rid of my four lowest courses, my GPA will go up over .2 grade points.
Here are the courses I would wish to retake (of course, I will not have time for all of them, but here are options):
GNDS 120 (unsure if being offered again)
SOCY 122 (likely being offered again)
RELS 163 (unsure if being offered again, this one is important, as it is the only one I failed, and the only one I absolutely need to retake)
DRAM 100 (likely being offered again)
STAT 263 (likely being offered again)
FILM 302 (unsure if being offered again)
ECON 112 (likely being offered again)
All in all, the only ones I am not sure are being offered again would be GNDS 120, RELS 163 and FILM 302.
