Petition Letter
Petition Letter: To the Associate Dean (Studies),
I am appealing to enter the course Film 110 past the add/drop deadline. This is my second year at Queen's University. I am completing a BAH, I chose to do a philosophy and psychology medial at the end of last year. I have found that I am not as interested or satisfied with my plan as I had thought I would be. I have not been enjoying my courses and I do not want to continue to pursue this plan. I am interested in pursuing a major in Film and Media but I have not taken the first year course which is necessary to do in order to major in Film. I have been granted permission from the professor of Film 110 Susan Lord to enter the course late. If I do not complete the course this year then I will have to do it in my third year as there are no options for me to complete it online or in the summer. This would be very challenging for me as it would put me quite behind in my plan. I have spoken with an academic advisor in Dunning Hall and the first step to changing my plan is taking this course. I would be very appreciative if it was approved for me to join this class. Changing plans in the future will ensure that I have academic success and that I enjoy my time here at Queen¿¿s as much as possible.

Academic Plan
Academic Plan: To the Associate Dean (Studies),
I plan to pursue a major in Film and Media, likely with a minor in psychology. I am currently enrolled in psychology courses that I would use toward my minor. I must take Film 110 and meet the standards that allow me to declare it as my major. Then in my third year I would begin taking upper year Film and Media courses at the 200 level and above. I would likely take summer courses to catch up on lost time, or think of taking a 5th year to complete my BAH.
