Academic Plan
Section A
I am in the course of study I want to be in and I am meeting the requirements to get the number of credits needed. Some parts such as the number of required credits from required classes have been completed.
Section B
I will be working but my new job is lower in hours and higher in pay meaning that I will be able to work less hours while still being able to pay what I need to. For the number of credits I need to complete I will be taking 6 credits per semester. As a disabled student this is the number needed to be considered a full time student. I will be meeting with my Academic Advisor before choosing what classes to take so we can look over what classes I have previously taken and see if I can take them again to improve my GPA.
Section C
I will be meeting with my Academic Advisor before the school year starts and during the school year as well to not only help me select classes but to advise if I am struggling on what steps I can take to help with that. I will be meeting my health care team and contacting them on a more regular basis to keep up with my needs. I will also leave my job if I find that I am struggling with work and school.
Areas of Concern
Academic Demands
I had some issues following along in some classes or understanding the class work but my local library has a good tutoring and resource section that I have and will be taking advantage of. Including a better time management system. I have also discovered new ways to help write and read essays and notes that work better for me than my old system did.
Academic Interests
I am interested in the classes I am choosing and I have no issues there.
Academic Skills and Work Habits.
I will be using my local library for resources and I plan to talk to my advisor before the school year starts to plan out my goals and see what other resources Queen’s has that would be useful to me. I plan to put my schooling first in every way that I can.
Personal/Financial
My health issues have been ongoing and still are. I plan to communicate that as needed to the right person at Queens, be it my teachers or my Student Accommodations advisor. I will not need surgery in the next year barring any type of emergency surgery. With a new higher paying job I am able to pay for my schooling if and when needed without major worry. I also plan to apply to what bursaries I can.
In terms of requiring withdrawal, as I have laid out above with the health challenges of surgery and new heart health related events I have either gone through them and am recovering or I am in the process of figuring it out. I have honestly communicated and gotten the right paperwork to support me when I can. I know what steps I need to do such as upload or meet with Student Accommodations if needed. I have also purchased health aids that have been helping with some of the systems such as hand tremors and the dizzy spells. All of these things combined mean that I am confident I can succeed.
