Petition Letter
Petition Letter: Hi,
I¿¿ve received the letter from our faculty which made the withdraw for a one-year decision. And I¿¿m writing to state my extenuating circumstances that led to my academic outcomes.
I was admitted as ART&SCI student but I chose all the courses for computer science which was a bit overwhelming and stressful, meanwhile, I had a hard time coping with the culture shocks and accidentally got myself into a toxic relationship.
Last November, I brought up some charges against a person who stole my passport and harassed me. And the lawsuit is still ongoing. The first year was stressful and depressing for me. And I¿¿m pretty sure that I would have done better.
I was also supposed to be a Gael in the upcoming orientation week, and I really want to get enrolled next year and keep trying my best and conquer all the difficulties.

Academic Plan
Academic Plan: I¿¿m now taking two summer courses (Math 121 and CISC 121) to improve my grades and try to get into computer science again. In the following year, I will take Math110 and take CISC 124 in the winter term. Meanwhile, I will take SOCY as my plan B. To help myself to concentrate better, I would divide the challenging courses into two semesters instead of taking a one year course.
