Submit an Academic Petition or Appeal

Petition Letter: To whom this may concern,

I am writing to formally request a further deferral of my final exam as well as an extension of an incomplete grade for PHAR 370, which was scheduled for January 12 following an initial deferral. I recognize that additional deferrals are granted only under exceptional circumstances, and I do not make this request lightly.

Following the initial deferral, I experienced a significant illness that required hospitalization. Although I was discharged prior to the scheduled deferred examination date, I was instructed by my doctor to take additional time away from academic responsibilities to allow for proper recovery. Despite no longer being hospitalized, I was still experiencing ongoing symptoms during this recovery period.

As a result, I was not fit to write my exam on January 12. In accordance with medical advice, I prioritized recovery to avoid further health complications.

I understand the importance of academic integrity and assessment timelines, and I regret any inconvenience this request may cause. However, the circumstances surrounding my hospitalization and required recovery were beyond my control, and I took this step only after recognizing that I was not capable of completing the examination in a fair or appropriate manner.

I remain fully committed to completing the requirements of PHAR 370. I am submitting this request at the earliest reasonable opportunity and have already communicated an alternate date to write this exam, pending this request being granted.

Thank you for your time and consideration of my request.

Sincerely,
Noah Vladimirsky
