Petition Letter
To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Robbie Barnett-Kemper, and I am a fifth year Computing student here at Queen's. I'm submitting this appeal for the 21 day deadline in connection with my appeal to be allowed to remain in my plan and graduate this year. It's been a difficult and busy summer that has kept me over-occupied.
When I received my grades for the past semester, I was assuming I would have enough credits to graduate. I was deeply involved in my sisters wedding as well as starting a summer business and didn't realize I would have to write an appeal in order to be allowed to come back and finish my last course this coming year. The letter of withdrawal arrived, and that was when I knew that I would have to appeal to remain in my plan. I contacted Spring Forsberg who was incredible at helping me create a plan of action to finish my degree. She has been instrumental in helping me and I thank her for it.
My appeal was also pushed further back because of my financial situation. My parents decided not to fund my room and board during the summer which has pushed me to work more at my business and find new sources of income to pay for rent and food. It's been a source of stress within my family that we haven't resolved and likely won't. I was working my normal job as a web developer, but I over-extended to include web design to get more jobs, which meant I had to learn how to do it in a professional context. This took a lot of trial and error in June and July to finish the work I took on.
This summer has been a learning experience of time-management and financial management. I'm hoping you will accept this appeal and allow me to present my appeal to remain in my plan for this fall to graduate with the one course I have left.
