Petition Letter

Petition Letter: I was not able to add the BIOL 537 course because of my outstanding student debt. I am an international student and hence, the huge sum of school fees. My family and I usually try to pay off the debt on time, but this year due to financial challenges, it was not easy.

I was able to pay a small sum that allowed the office of the Registrar grant my appeal so I can register for classes.

Academic Plan

Academic Plan: Since BIOL 537 is largely a research-based course, I was able to keep up by reading the relevant literature for my research and attending the seminar every Friday.

I will keep working hard to achieve my research goals by spending extra time reading literature, discussing with my supervisor, and going to the lab to get my work done.
