Petition Letter
Petition Letter: Hello, my name is Sahil Grewal and I am requesting that my summer course, CISC 101 be dropped as I have no longer have any time to complete the coursework or to study for the exam.
At the beginning of the summer, I anticipated that I would be able to handle the course alongside my full-time summer internship. After a couple of weeks into the internship, my days became far busier than I previously anticipated.
I was supposed to be working 40 hours a week however now I am working closer to 80 hours a week on top of commuting 1.5 hours both ways to get to the office. I am aware that the course will appear on my transcript as dropped, however, I have no other choice as I literally have no time to continue the coursework.
I request that I be permitted to drop the course as soon as possible as all the stress from work is beginning to affect my mental health. I want to clear up some time in my schedule to reduce the stress as working 80 hours is far more taxing than I anticipated. I do not want this to linger over my head while I try to I plan to take the next course once I return to school and can dedicate more time to completing the work.
