Petition Letter
Petition Letter: To whom it may concern,
On Saturday, May 12, I was offered a new contract that would double my workload as a freelance editor. Unfortunately, this new work would mean that I would have less time to dedicate to my studies.
I'm currently enrolled in CHEM 113, a condensed summer course. I noticed that HLTH 230, a less condensed course, is also being offered online this summer. As HLTH 230 would also fulfill the requirements of my degree, I would very much appreciate being allowed to switch to this course. I believe that swapping these courses would allow me to balance my heavy workload and studies more effectively. I understand that I would be starting HLTH 230 late, though I am confident this would not impact my performance.
Additionally, I have been planning to have a surgical procedure and have been advised that the next available time would likely fall close to the final exam period for CHEM 113. Therefore, the final exam period for HLTH 230 is much more suitable.
My preferred exam center would be Berlin (8031). I did not see this option available in the appeal list, though it is available on SOLUS.
Your consideration is greatly appreciated.

Academic Plan
Academic Plan: If I were allowed to swap courses, I would strive to catch up in HLTH 230 and achieve a course grade on par with my past performance (GPA 3.94).
I hope to complete CHEM 113 and 114 when they are next offered online.
