Petition Letter
To whom it may concern,
I am writing this letter to formally petition to add the course SOCY 301 after the add/drop course deadline due to an academic circumstance that was out of my control.
I am a fifth-year Health Studies student and have been working hard towards my degree over the years. I was under the impression that I was on track to graduate in Spring 2025; however, I received an email this afternoon (January 30) stating that I am missing 3.0 credits.
As I applied to graduate on December 8, I was under the impression that:
“Students who apply by Wednesday, December 18, will be guaranteed a review of their application before the last day to add or drop a course for the Winter 2025 term.”
That said, there seems to have been some mistake. I was notified by the Arts and Science Degree Requirements email today that, somehow, my record was missed until they reviewed the fail report. As well, there is no explanation for why my AAR was missed during the initial review, and I am being given this critical information very late. I was unaware and was only notified two weeks after the add/drop date that I did not have enough credits to graduate, even though I was promised a review of my application beforehand to ensure that I was on track to graduate.
If I had known before the add/drop date, I would have planned accordingly and avoided this petition. Given that this mistake was not on my behalf, I was recommended to submit a petition to add a course late.
I am incredibly committed to graduating in Spring 2025, as I have already completed my graduate school applications and was looking forward to completing the undergraduate degree I have been working hard toward. I would be highly disheartened if this circumstance, which was completely out of my control, were to affect my ability to graduate.
I have spoken to the professor, Ayca Tomac, via email, and she has agreed to allow me to enroll in SOCY 301 if my petition is approved.
Thank you for considering my request.
