Submit an Academic Petition or Appeal

New Information: Dear Associate Dean,

I am writing to submit supporting documentation for my academic petition #14285 regarding MATH 112.

These documents are submitted in support of my request for Credit Standing (CR) in MATH 112, reflecting extenuating mental health circumstances that significantly impaired my performance on the deferred final examination on April 17, 2026:

1. Psychologist Supporting Letters, Dr. Lavanya Sampasivam

• (May 13, 2026): Confirms my ADHD diagnosis, insomnia, anxiety, and depression, and their impact on my examination performance in April 2026.

• (January 16, 2026): Details sleep disturbances caused by ADHD medication during the deferral period.

• (May 2, 2025): Documents a long-term history of mental health difficulties significantly affecting my academic functioning since Fall 2024.

2. Queen's SWS Healthcare Professional Statement, Emily Blacker

• (May 13, 2026): Confirms that I have a chronic condition and documents functional limitations affecting academic performance.

3. QSAS Correspondence/Documentation 

• Caroline Jesuthasan, Accessibility Advisor Correspondence: Documents the acute panic attack I experienced on December 12, 2025, preventing me from writing the original exam, and the accommodation update.

• Letter of Accommodation, QSAS (February 25, 2026): Confirms formal accommodations,  including 'no morning exams' added January 14, 2026, due to medication-related sleep disturbances.

This evidence demonstrates that the D grade was the result of documented mental health and medical circumstances, and does not reflect my usual academic ability.

Sincerely,

Kubair Mehta
