Academic Plan
Despite my inability to choose my courses I have found success in my first semester here at Queen's after transferring in. I achieved a GPA of 3.43 in the previous 2024 Fall Semester which I feel is pretty successful considering that qualification for the Dean's list is only 0.07 above that at a 3.50. In addition to that at my previous school I represented York University in a Varsity Sport and was able to achieve Academic All-Canadian which is awarded to student athletes for achieving an average of 80%+ while also playing a Varsity level sport. It is because of these achievements that I feel I have a good hold on what can lead to my individual academic success. To further my academic success it is crucial that I am enrolled in classes as currently I am 18.0 credits behind where I should be towards graduation despite my attempts at enrollment. When I transferred from York University, Queen's only accepted 21.0/24.0 credits which put me an additional 3.0 behind, I was unable to enroll in a full course load in the Fall 2024 semester which put me another 3.0 behind and in my current Winter 2025 semester I only have 3 classes which puts me an additional 6.0 behind. Because of this I currently will be required to take 12.0 credits during the next two summer terms to finish my degree in the appropriate time frame while also working full time and volunteering amongst the Kingston football community. In addition, of the classes that I am currently enrolled in I do not feel as if I will be successful in GLPH 271 as it is designed for Health Science majors, which I am not but am currently unable to drop as to do so would put me under the minimum for full time student status. By saying all this I am petitioning to be enrolled in the classes that I have listed previously (EMPR 110, ENIN 140, GPHY 101 and LLCU 214) so that I am able to stay on track for my graduation and maintain my full time student status.

For the next page on documentation all that I have to submit is a screenshot from Professor Mark Stoller (GPHY101) saying that there is space in his class. I will submit that but other than that I would very much appreciate if you could reach out to me or the leaders of the individual classes for further documentation or permissions and have included each individuals contact information below. Please if there is anything that I can do contact me!
