Academic Plan
Academic Year, 2023-24: Commitments
This past year has been one of significant growth and personal understanding. I know that I need to commit to accessing the following supports and changes to my academic schedule should this appeal be approved:
Academics:
I have considered a range of options to ensure future success in my academic career. For the 2023-24, I am proposing the following:
Retake MUSC-191, DRAM-100, MUTH-111, and MUSC-115 (Choral Ensemble) to make up for lost learning and repair my GPA
Late drop RELS-131, and MUSC-114
Plan for a 5-year timeline to complete my Queen’s University Bachelor of Music degree.
Reduce my course load for 2023-24 to ensure there is time for balancing all of my academic and health needs. I am proposing a max 30 credit course load for the academic year.
Mental Health & Well-Being – Opportunities for 2023-24
1.) Regular appointments with SASS & QSAS to review academics and get support with writing skills, organization and other academic needs.
2.) Explore the opportunity through QSAS for a RARC/MAT assessment to assess current neuropsychological learning profile for supportive academic planning.
3.) Counseling services through Student Mental Health Services at Queen’s University.
4.) Medication management: Monitoring schedule with Family Doctor along with Psychiatry Services.
5.) Navigating University with ADHD: A 4-week group, facilitated by an Occupational Therapist, through Student Wellness.
Summary:
This year was my first time living by myself, and my first time moving to a new city. I had a difficult time establishing new support networks and underestimated what I would need to support my health and keep on track academically, but I was wrong. I now know the kind of support I need, and I’ve established a much stronger support network (both medically and academically) going into next year which will help me succeed duirng the next academic year.
