Petition Letter

Petition Letter: Dear Dr. Bénard,

I am writing to you to request to enrol in PSYC397 ¿¿ History of Modern Psychology during the Summer 2017 term. I am a Psychology major entering fourth year, and I am also hoping to complete a minor in Drama and the Certificate in Business. It has recently come to my attention that, due to my enrolment in the Certificate in Business program, I will not have enough Arts and Science credits to graduate on time unless I take a larger than normal course load next year (6.0 units short). Since I will be taking the thesis option next year, as well as directing a full length play with a theatre company on campus, I do not think I would be able to excel in fourth year while taking an extra 6.0 units during the school year. Upon speaking to the Psychology undergraduate advisor, Allison Leverette, I was encouraged to submit this appeal for late course enrolment, as PSYC397 is the only Summer 2017 course that will count towards my Psychology major.

Thank you for your consideration,

Amanda Lin
