Petition Letter: USST International Exchange Program offer undergraduate and postgraduate-level courses for all USST students and visiting students conducting both on-campus and online 4 to10 -week sessions throughout the whole year. Therefore, I would like two courses at USST.

Academic Plan

Academic Plan: Dear officer,
I have submitted an application to IPO; however, they informed me that since I have already taken 6 units at Chinese Cultural University at Fall, they required me that I have to submit an appeal to Arts&Science Office.Therefore, I was wondering whether my appeal can be approved. I intend to take 6 more units at Winter 2023. I sincerely need these units so that I can graduate in Spring 2023.
Thanks for your consideration and help

Appeal Letter

Appeal Letter: I like to explain that it is crucial for me to enroll in this course in USST(university of Shanghai) during this winter semester. Herein are my reasons.

Despite the fact that I am now enrolled in five courses at Queens, I was contemplating dropping one of them. The reason is because I am extremely interested in Horror Film and Film Art, which unfortunately cannot be enrolled for at Queens this term.

I'm planning to start my career as a filmmaker in Shanghai this summer, the study experience in Shanghai and learning how Chinese school approach film education is really important to me.

I've previously discussed my plan with my undergraduate chair, who respects my choice and supports my appeal, therefore I genuinely hope that my petition will be granted.

And I'm planning to drop my FILM220, so that I won't exceed the limit of taking 18.0 point of course in one semester. (I believe this this the main concern for the associate dean to denied my appeal)

Thank you for your time reviewing my appeal. I just want to let you know decision is quite important to me. If my petition got rejected, I might be forced to change my whole plan (both academically and personally).
