Petition Letter
Petition Letter: Hello,
I am currently an incoming exchange student at Queen's University in my 3rd year of studies, and I am looking to appeal so that I can take ECON 370 instead of ECON 255 which is what I am currently taking. The reason for wanting to do this is due to problems with my home university, I realised that ECON 255 is a course that I have already been through the same material of previously and my home subject coordinator has requested me to change this.
The reason as to why this request came in late was due to the difference in the school systems of the two countries. My home University is Glasgow University and their start date is much later, and as such my subject coordinator was on his annual leave until after the deadline date, and thus I could not get his approval for the change of the courses.
Sorry for the problems this may have caused but I hope you understand my situation.

Academic Plan
Academic Plan: Should my appeal be granted, I plan on spending my weekends and my free time to catch up on missing material. I highly believe I can use this time to catch up all the materials missed in the space of maximum of 2 weeks, but if that is not the case I plan to spend the reading week studying the missed content too.
