Petition Letter
I am writing to request consideration for a section change back to the in‑class lecture format for PHGY 216. This request is due to an extenuating academic circumstance beyond my control: a scheduling conflict with one of my required lab courses, which overlaps with the current blended format. Because this lab is mandatory and cannot be moved, the conflict prevents me from completing both components to the best of my abilities and as required. As a result, my ability to fully participate in the course and maintain my academic performance is compromised.
I have taken steps to resolve this issue independently, including reviewing all available lab and lecture options and confirming that no alternative lab section is available. Returning to the in‑class lecture section is the only option that would allow me to attend both courses without conflict. This adjustment would ensure I can meet course expectations and avoid academic penalties for absences beyond my control.
I appreciate your time and consideration of this request. I am committed to maintaining strong academic performance, and resolving this scheduling conflict is essential to doing so. Please let me know if any additional information or documentation is required.
