Petition Letter
Dear Associate Dean,
Please accept this letter as my formal request to waive the 21-day deadline for an academic appeal I wish to submit for the 2014-2015 year. In late October 2014 I experienced a sudden personal loss resulting in unmanageable levels of distress. My struggle to cope with this crisis made it difficult to carry out basic every day tasks, let alone engage in my academic activities. What is especially relevant to this deadline appeal is that I did not have even a vague timeline for how long it may take to recuperate from this situation.
I have included documentation from my doctor in the form of a letter and a completed Off-campus Physician¿¿s Note. These documents also address information needed for my academic appeal as the Arts and Science office has indicated the same documents may be used for both the 21-day deadline and academic appeals.
More detailed information can be made available if needed to support this appeal.
Sincerely,
Cindy Beck
