Petition Letter
Petition Letter: Dear Associate Dean:
I am writing to request to add a course after the last official date for adding classes. As this course is an independent study course (honours thesis), I am unable to enroll myself.
I first contacted the DEVS Undergraduate Chair regarding my request for an independent study course on Friday September 5th. I was able to secure a supervising professor on Monday September 8th; however, we were not able to meet in person to fill out the paperwork until September 16th.
Prior to September 15th, I contacted the Undergraduate Chair to ask if the department would support my application for DEVS 501 even though the deadline will have passed. His response was,

Academic Plan
Academic Plan: By adding Devs 501, I will be able to remain a full-time student and have a full course load. This course contributes to my academic path and will ensure successful completion of my double major honours degree within a 3-year period, allowing me to finish early. This course will not only assist me to excel in research-based courses next academic year, but it will also prepare me for graduate studies. This course will provide a good foundation for a community capstone project I will be completing in Year 4 for INDG 401.
