Petition Letter

Petition Letter: Dear whomever this may concern,
I am currently trying to switch out of a SOCY 226 1: 30 pm tutorial on Monday's and into a 9: 30 am tutorial on Monday's. My reason for needing to switch is due to two medical conditions which intertwine. Most of my classes are scheduled for early mornings with one in the afternoon if needed. On Monday's I have two in the afternoon back to back. One being this tutorial and the other being health 200 right after. I am anemic and get very tired easily, I am also epileptic and a lack of sleep and fatigue can cause seizures. This past week I could not make it to my health class as I was so tired. I go to bed very early and wake up around 8 or 9 on regular days and unfortunately I do have a hard time staying awake all day.
The reason I did not realize this earlier was because the first week there were no tutorials and the second week my TA did not show up as he had a family emergency.
I feel if I was put into a 9: 30 am class I could focus better and do well in both my classes that day.
It would be very much appreciated. Attached is a copy of my medical form from the wellness centre. Switching this time would really help me so that I don't have to miss a tutorial or lecture.

Sincerely, Jill Amirault

Academic Plan

Academic Plan: In my future studies I will be sure to avoid back to back classes on all afternoons if possible. I will also continue to take my medications regularly and be sure to get a goodnight sleep as much as possible.
