Petition Letter
REQUESTED ACTION: Manual late-add/enrolment override into EMPR 110 (Workplace Communication) and ENIN 240 (Innovation & Entrepreneurship) for the Summer 2026 term.
1. STATEMENT OF REQUEST
I am writing to formally petition for a manual override to register for EMPR 110 and ENIN 240 past the official May 8, 2026 course enrolment deadline. I have demonstrated clear, proactive intent to register prior to the deadline, which was ultimately derailed by a combination of severe medical trauma and administrative course restrictions.
2. REASON FOR MISSING THE ENROLMENT DEADLINE (MAY 8, 2026)
A. Demonstrated Pre-Deadline Intent to Register
My summer registration was not neglected. On April 29, 2026—well before the May 8th deadline—I began actively communicating with the Smith Commerce Office to register for my summer coursework (refer to attached PDF: Re: Summer Course registration).
Unfortunately, I attempted to register for COMM 200-level courses, unaware that these are strictly restricted to non-commerce students. Due to processing delays, I did not receive official clarification from Program Administrator Kate Robinson confirming that I was blocked from these courses until May 11, 2026—three days after the enrolment deadline had already passed.
B. Cognitive Disruption and Academic Calendar Confusion
On April 7, 2026, I was involved in a severe motor vehicle collision on Highway 401 (OPP Collision Report No. RM26085434), resulting in my emergency admission for Multisystem Trauma - Blunt (Trillium Health Partners MRN: 1002390472).
Due to the intense physical pain, ongoing therapy, and significant cognitive
