Petition Letter
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally petition for enrollment in a 3rd-year course based on extenuating circumstances that have significantly impacted my academic performance.
As an international student new to Canada, my transition to the Canadian education system, along with the challenges posed by the ongoing pandemic, has resulted in unforeseen difficulties in achieving all of my first-year course credits. The pandemic’s disruptions, coupled with my unfamiliarity with the academic landscape and adjustments to a new environment, have hindered my ability to meet the credit requirements for my first year.
I understand the importance of maintaining a consistent academic record, especially as I progress into my third year and strive to graduate on time. The extenuating circumstances I faced include the pandemic-related restrictions, which limited my access to necessary resources, and the associated challenges with online learning. These circumstances, compounded by medical reasons such as ADHD and anxiety, have directly impacted my coursework, leading to a lower credit attainment than anticipated.
In light of these challenges, I am seeking permission to enroll in a 3rd-year course to ensure that I can make up for the credit shortfall and remain on track for timely graduation. This would provide me with the opportunity to regain the academic momentum that was disrupted due to the aforementioned circumstances.
I have attached supporting documentation outlining the extenuating circumstances I faced, including medical records reflecting my ADHD and anxiety diagnoses. Due to the sensitive nature of the medical information, these documents are available in my confidential medical file with the university. Additionally, I actively sought assistance from academic advisors and engaged in consultations with professionals to address these challenges during and after their occurrence.
I kindly request your understanding and consideration of my petition. Your support in granting permission for my enrollment in a 3rd-year course would significantly alleviate the academic hurdles I currently face. I remain committed to maintaining a strong academic standing and completing my degree in a timely manner.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I appreciate your consideration and look forward to a positive resolution.
