Petition Letter
Petition Letter: Dear Associate Dean,
I am writing appeal waive the withdrawing of my enrollment.
I admit that my results have not been satisfactory, I am utterly ashamed and surprised of the outcomes. While I agree that this is a policy of the school, I am begging for your consideration against this decision.
I have been under a lot stress lately due to the family status. My mother suffered from breast cancer at the end of 2017, which made a financial strain to my family.I am a international student from China, distance makes me worry about my family, at the same time I was in a academic probation, the worry about my mother and the academic pressure made me stressed out and cannot be eager to my sudies. I will provide my mother's discharge note and operation note as supporting documentations.
There is also a situation that I got an F in the course Econ 111, I planned to retake this course winter term because I had many required courses in the fall term. When I was choosing the course for winter term I realized that Econ 111 is a fall term course so that I could not retake it, which is a main reason that my GPA did not meet the requirement.Although I did not retake the failed course, my GPA was improved to 1.36 in 2017-2018. I promise if I have the chance to enroll next term, I will retake all my failed course and make my GPA improved a lot.
Given the change to enroll next term, you can be assured that I shall make good use of the opportunity and putting all my effort to meet the requirement next time.
Your kind consideration of my appeal will be greatly appreciated.
yours sincerely,
Zijian Lin

Academic Plan
Academic Plan: If I get the chance, I will study in the program of MATH first because I cannot meet the requirement of my original major, computing, and there are many common needs courses for these two programs. I will learn the courses in these two programs at the same time, if I reach the requirement of computing I will apply to take COMA in the future.
I will retake ECON 111 and CISC 220 next term, and take MATH couses at the same time. After I retake these courses my GPA will be improved and meet the requirement. If my mother's condition gets worse, I will take lighter course load but also retake the courses that I got bad grades.
