Petition Letter
Petition Letter: I applied for the DISC 598/599 Discovery Lab Research Projects for Team-Based Experiential Learning course in August 2025. Last Friday (September 12, 2025) I received an email saying I was accepted to the course pending the drop of courses to accommodate for the 6 credits/term required for this course. I sent a reply email asking for clarity regarding the process, as well as two follow-up emails. I did not hear back until today (Friday September 19, 2025). The course coordinators requested that I submit a petition to add the course to my schedule. I am still really interested in this opportunity and believe it would be extremely beneficial for my academic career as I would really like to participate in research.
Academic Plan
Academic Plan: I am planning to drop MICR 483 and take it next term instead, and drop PHAR 480. The other courses in my current schedule are required for my graduation or are only offered this semester. I plan to get started in the DISC 598 course as soon as possible. This would leave me with 6 courses for F25 semester, and 5 courses for W26 semester.
