Petition Letter
Petition Letter: Hello,
I am appealing to drop SPAN111(summer 2019) and CISC121(summer 2019) as some mental issue has been affecting me to concentrate on my study after the midterms of those two courses and I felt a little bit overwhelmed to take 3 courses in summer and found it too late to drop them now.
There are several reasons why I have some psychological problems during the summer session. Some poor time management and forgetfulness occurred when I am trying to focus on one subject and easy to get tired. Along with depression and anxiety that bothering me I got very serious insomnia symptoms that stopped me from catching up with dues and being a student. Under that circumstance, I have gone to a psychiatrist and tried to get myself back on track. And I have also sought help in the walk-in clinic outside the campus too.
If my appeal gets granted I would maintain regular meetings with an academic advisor to work out obstacles and to ensure everything is going well. If some mental issues happened again I will go to the counselling service or other medical professional again before anything is getting worse.
best,
Zhaocheng

New Information: And I am fully aware that if I am not keeping up with readings, assignments and tests due to
circumstances beyond my control, the appropriate remedy is to drop the courses by week 8. Since I really dedicated to complete the summer courses, I decided to keep both of those courses that are meant to be dropped when the academic penalty deadline came.
However, I did encounter more acute problems after week 8, with oversleeping and anxiety disorder becoming a part of my life and the psychiatrist who is on maternity leave right now prescribed me Ceraplex which would take to work for anxiety within 2 or 3 weeks but may have side effects like oversleeping in a short term.
Therefore, within the window period, I ended up with procrastinating 2 assignments in SPAN and CISC 121 and eventually can't make it to pass the course.
Under the current circumstance, I would try my best to book appointments regarding a letter of support with another doctor next week.
