Academic Plan
The circumstances that affected my academic performance were temporary but severe, stemming from unexpected and distressing family events related to the situation in my home country, Iran. During this period, I was required to remain in Vancouver to support my family and was largely offline, which disrupted my ability to complete academic requirements and meet enrollment deadlines. Since then, I have taken time to stabilize my personal situation and carefully reassess my academic plan moving forward.
My primary academic goal is to remain on track for graduation by completing required foundational courses in a timely manner. Enrolling in EMPR 270 (and ECON 256) this semester is essential, as these courses are prerequisites for future coursework and delaying them would significantly disrupt my degree progression. To support my success, I am intentionally maintaining a manageable course load. At present, I am enrolled in three courses, and with the addition of these required classes, I would have a full but realistic five-course semester that I have the time and capacity to manage effectively.
From an academic standpoint, my plan includes consistent lecture and tutorial attendance, proactive engagement with course material, and early communication with instructors should challenges arise. I have already contacted the professor for EMPR 270, who was also my instructor last semester, and I am confident in my ability to catch up quickly and meet course expectations.
On a personal level, I am actively seeking support to ensure long-term academic stability. I have been connected with the Care Centre and have scheduled an appointment, which will help me maintain structure and support while navigating the ongoing emotional impact of recent events. Moving forward, I plan to remain connected to academic advising and student support services to ensure that any future challenges are addressed early and constructively.
By maintaining a balanced course load, prioritizing required courses, and utilizing available academic and personal support resources, I am confident that I will be able to succeed academically and continue progressing toward my degree without further disruption.
