Academic Plan
Academic Plan for Success
Going forward, I am committed to maintaining regular sessions with my psychiatrist, who has been essential in helping me manage my mental health, including time management and coping strategies during high-stress situations. These sessions will continue to provide me with the structure and support I need to succeed academically.
I will remain in Kingston to fulfill both academic and personal responsibilities while continuing to work remotely for my family business in a reduced capacity. This will allow me to stay engaged professionally without compromising my academic focus. Given the unpredictable nature of the recent extenuating circumstances, I have discussed with my psychiatrist strategies to set clearer boundaries around my work obligations, ensuring I prioritize my studies in the coming term.
My primary academic goal is to graduate. Although I am currently enrolled in a 6.0-unit English course that would allow me to meet this requirement, the course exceeds the number of units I need and comes with significantly higher tuition. I am requesting to substitute this with DEVS 102, a 3.0-unit course that better aligns with both my financial situation and academic plan. I also have prior experience with Professor Paritosh Kumar, having taken his POLS 445 course, and I found his teaching style supportive and intellectually engaging. I am confident that this familiarity will help ease the academic transition and allow me to focus fully on the course material.
I have also consulted with an academic advisor regarding this plan to ensure that DEVS 102 meets the requirements for my degree and that I will remain on track to graduate this year. I will continue to use academic resources available through the university, including office hours, advising support, and academic accommodations if necessary.
By taking proactive steps to manage my health, adjust my workload, and select a course with a professor I know and trust, I am confident in my ability to succeed academically and complete my degree requirements.
