re: Peter Norman 0252 2390 ¿¿ Appeal to add courses back


I am writing this letter to request that I be permitted to add courses back to my summer study program. In attempting to drop the Law 201 course I was taking, I mistakenly somehow in the system dropped all of my summer courses. This was not my intention and I was shocked when I discovered that I was unable to continue my coursework in my remaining three courses. My inadvertent withdrawal from these courses has also impacted my OSAP status, and as I¿¿m sure you can imagine I am desperate to get things back on track.

It is my firm belief that I can catch up with the study work I have missed and successfully complete the courses. The courses that I am requesting to be able to add back are: HIST 263, FILM 300 and PSYC 397.

As a mature student working to improve my grades in order to move on towards Masters and potentially PhD study I can only express my embarrassment over the mistake I¿¿ve made but also my enduring desire and commitment to complete my courses.

I thank you in advance for your help in this matter and look forward to hearing from you as soon as you are able to render a decision. If you require any further information from me please do not hesitate to contact me through my Queen¿¿s email or by phone on 613-305-0862.

Yours sincerely,


Peter D. Norman
