Submit an Academic Petition or Appeal

Petition Letter: To whom it may concern:
I understand that the deadline for dropping these courses have passed Due to personal challenges, my children’s health issues and financial pressures of having to work more hours while in school, I have found it increasingly difficult to manage my academic workload effectively. I am actively trying really hard to finish my degree while managing a job and family life and was unsure how to proceed. I was feeling defeated and I procrastinated sending this request because I’m upset with myself knowing I’m already on academic probation.
I apologize for not submitting this request earlier and sincerely appreciate your understanding as I need to increase my GOA to remain a student. I would be grateful for your assistance in processing this late drop and would be happy to discuss my situation further if required.
