Petition Letter
Dear Associate Dean Johanne Bénard,
I am writing to appeal my requirement to withdraw from Queen¿¿s University for 3 years as stated by Queen¿¿s University Academic Regulation 20cii, and due to extenuating circumstances out of my control.
In the academic year of 2014-2015, I started with 3 courses in the fall and 3 courses in the winter. I dropped 1 courses in the winter because of my optimal carrying capacity. As my transcript shows, I achieved a pass in Art History (Arth) courses Arth 226 with a C, Arth 214 with a C, and Pharmacology 100 with a B-, but I failed Psychology 100. I am appealing to Academic Regulation 20cii, for a lesser penalty; such as remaining in academic probation for 2015-2016; because I was able to achieve 60 percent on courses passed and I am within 2.0 credits of a degree.
My extenuating circumstances stem from a psychological assessment of ADHD type-2. However, I firmly believe that I have grasped control for the majority of my symptoms and I will only provide you how I control my symptoms of ADHD: which are through exercise, a decrease in sugar consumption, and 7 hours of sleep. However, studying can be difficult due to some anxiety discomfort caused by the medication.
