Petition Letter
To whom it may concern,
I am writing to request approval to enroll in a full course load of five courses (15 units) during my upcoming semester abroad in Spain during the winter semester 2025.
Taking a full course load while studying abroad will allow me to meet the necessary credit requirements to graduate on time in 2026. As I am in my third year in Global Development Studies (DEVS) program, maintaining my academic schedule is crucial to avoid delaying my graduation.
The courses offered at SAE in Barcelona (and accredited through Jacksonville University) provide an exceptional learning experience that is not available at Queen’s University. These courses align closely with my interests and future career goals, particularly in areas such as international relations which are integral to my field of study.
Studying a full course load in Spain will allow me to be immersed in the local culture and academic environment, enriching my learning experience beyond the classroom. This immersive experience is a unique academic opportunity that I would not have at Queen’s.
Furthermore I believe that this experience will not only benefit my academic and professional growth but also contribute positively to my personal development.
Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to your approval and am happy to discuss any details further or provide additional information as needed.
All the best,
