Submit an Academic Petition or Appeal

Petition Letter: Hello,
My name is Yael. This is an appeal to have a grade F removed from my university record. That grade stands for a course I did not complete back in 2015, during a time I suspected I was growing ill with cancer. During the time of my studies I saw multiple doctors, who unfortunately dismissed my complains as 'being nothing'. However, I felt unwell and was in great anguish by what i knew was not looking good. I withdrew from my activities and traveled to my home country to rest and spent time with family and friends. Shortly after my return I went back to see my doctor who finally agreed to send me to a specialist. I then had a biopsy done and was diagnosed with skin cancer. Addressing the failed grade, as disappointed as I was from the experience, was neglected in the face of my crisis, as it took the best of me to handle my situation. It wasn't until the following year, after enduring multiple surgeries, procedures and repeated hospital follow ups that I returned to queens and resumed my intentions. My studies played a significant part in my recovery phase. I have since taken a number of classes through the on-line option and hoping to move to on campus study as of next year, to advance towards more interesting and challenging academics.
Please consider my request and thank you in advance.
sincerely,
Yael.
