Submit an Academic Petition or Appeal

Petition Letter: I am an international student from China, studied four-year high school in Ontario. When I graduated from high school, I planned to go back to China. However, the landing board was all closed, and the air company cancelled my flight ticket at the time. I was already 18, so I got an email from my high school Guardianship that I could no longer live with my homestay, although they wanted me to stay. So I moved out, found a place where I could live with the house owner in a hurry, and my first-year university began.

Everything was all good until there was another person moved in. There was no WiFi in her room at first(my room was fine), so the house owner bought an extender and placed it in between me and my roommate's bedrooms. After a few days, the WiFi in my room was broken. I told the house owner about these, she also tried to fix it, but nothing worked. At that time, it was around the middle of October in 2020. I could not load any of my website pages, even my OnQ. I was pretty anxious. Under the house owner's suggestion, I let my teachers know about this situation. Still, I got a reply email that said to Appeal all my courses by this website, which is useless because I cannot load a webpage. After a month, the WiFi in house was fine, but my laptop and iphone were still unable to connect it stable. I failed all my fall term courses except psycology due to this reason. Until December, I moved to Kingston and the WiFi here is good to use. I tried to keep on with my courses, but finding resources are much more complicated than I thought. Also, I had no idea whether I should go back home to China. So I booked a meeting with my academic advisor around the middle of April. She suggested I should still try to appeal these F marks from my transcript because the situation was out of my control.
