Petition Letter
Petition Letter: Dear Committee,
I am writing to ask to remove PHAR 100 from my transcript, after the official drop deadline, which I missed by only one day. I am requesting this consideration due to extenuating circumstances beyond my control that directly affected my ability to complete a major assessment.
On the day of the midterm exam, I experienced a significant technical issue. I was let into the exam session by the technical support team, but they forgot to instruct me to download the required software beforehand. I began the exam and, after about two minutes, they asked me to stop, download the software, and restart my laptop. Unfortunately, the exam timer continued to run during this entire process, leaving me with very limited time to complete the test only 9 minutes.
This was not my fault, and the delay caused by the technical oversight prevented me from finishing the midterm.
Since this issue was entirely beyond my control, I am kindly requesting permission to drop the course without it appearing on my academic transcript, despite being only one day past the official deadline.

Academic Plan
Academic Plan: If my petition is granted, my plan is to retake this course at a later date when I can fully focus on it and ensure that all technical and course requirements are met in advance. I will carefully review all pre-exam instructions and confirm that the required software and tools are installed and tested before any assessment.
To further support my academic success, I plan to stay in close communication with instructors and technical support teams prior to future exams to avoid similar issues. I will also be more proactive in attending tutorials, checking announcements, and verifying any course requirements ahead of time.
In addition, since the situation caused a great deal of stress, I plan to continue focusing on my mental well-being by maintaining healthy study habits and, if needed, consulting with a counselor to manage stress during exam periods. These steps will help me remain fully prepared and supported to succeed academically in future courses.
