Submit an Academic Petition or Appeal

Hello Associate Dean,

Firstly I would like to express my sincerest apologies for needing to launch this petition. I was dealing with a family emergency throughout the holidays and into the new year. This distracted me from ensuring that my degree requirements were satisfied prior to the deadline to add courses. If you would like more information on my family situation I can provide you with additional details but we would prefer to keep in closed doors due to the sensitive subject matter.

I require this single course to satisfy my degree requirements and graduate this spring with my peers. I have contacted the instructor and my undergraduate chair, both of which have given me permission and support to join the course. The reason this petition is being submitted this week as opposed to last, is because it took me a while to find the correct process to add the course.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions or require any additional information.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
Ryan Boljkovac
