New Information: Hello,
My name is Amanda Rego- Lynch. I did not realize I needed to first ask to waive the 21 day or one term deadline.
I am asking to have this done now and the reason I could not submit this appeal sooner or by the proper deadline is because the earliest specialist appointment I could get for my daughter was September 21, 2016.
I did not want to apply for this appeal before that date, because I needed to see the status of my daughter's health concerns. If I would have made the appeal and then she was not better or she needed more care, it would have wasted the University's time as well as my own.
I also had an application into Birchview Dunes Elementary School ( My daughters school) for a teaching assistant, to help her use the bathroom properly during the day at school. While I was awaiting this application for a TA, I would go to the school everyday, at all breaks to make sure she used the toilet properly, wiped properly and applied the oil and Vaseline properly, so that she would not get the severe vulvovaginitis back.
This course and school is very important to me and my future. I did not want to submit an appeal if I could not commit myself 100.
I now have a TA in place at school, the specialist has given the okay to return to school as well as work.
I have the added bonus of my father who recently retired to be able to assist in the care of my daughter, in case any unforeseen health issues do arise. I did not have this extra assistance last time.
I would really appreciate you granting me to waive the 21 day or one term deadline, so that I can have my appeal reviewed by the Associate Dean and hopefully be granted my appeal to drop the course, so that I may retake this class.
Queens University and this course are very important to me and my future, and if given a second chance, I will make sure that I complete the course and fully dedicate my time to the school and my course.
Thank You for taking the time to review my request.
