Petition Letter
Hello,
The class that I am requesting to join is Math 121 over the summer semester. The reason for this request is that I need to retake this class as the grade has just been posted and I have failed. The reason for me failing this class is due to severe medical conditions that I had throughout the semester and during my exam. I had bacterial pneumonia while studying and writing this exam. Throughout the semester I also had a stomach bacterial infection that resulted in many missed classes and an inability to adequately complete assignments. I have documents that show proof of these medical conditions and can submit them if required. Over the past few weeks, I have gotten treatment and recovered from both conditions. I understand that it was by mistake for writing the exam even though I had approved academic consideration. The reason that I forced myself to take this exam was because I believed that writing all of my exams during the deferred period would not be a good decision as there are 4 days of deferred period and I would have to write 4 exams. I believe that if i were to retake this course with my current recovered state, I would be able to achieve a much better overall grade.
Thank you for reviewing my request.
Sincerely,
Simerdeep Bains
