Academic Plan
Queen's University
Johanne Bénard
Associate Dean
Dear Ms. Bénard,
It is of my greatest concern to focus on managing my personal life and my academic commitments in this coming year. I am choosing to take smaller course loads in each semester. For this Summer semester, I am enrolled in 2 online courses (Music 171 and Commerce 200), and have already dedicated much of my time this summer to studying for them. In the Fall term, I will take 3 courses, leaving the final 4 courses of my degree for the Winter. As I have already completed all required courses for my Economics degree, I am most attentive to taking courses that I am passionate about and putting in substantial work to raise my GPA. Since year 1, I have been a part of Queen's Rugby Club, and the support from my teammates and physical activity it brings me has made a positive impact on my mental wellbeing. Because of this, I am choosing to make the Rugby Club my only social commitment in the coming year. Additionally, I will be moving away from central campus, into a smaller apartment with fewer roommates.
Though this has been an incredibly challenging experience for me, I am capable of ensuring this situation will be very different this coming year. I now know the resources on campus, the friends, and the counsellors, whom I will contact for help. During this time, I plan to utilize the Student Wellness Centre on a monthly basis. I will be in attendance at every class in every course, and participate in study groups whenever possible. I have made my future roommates aware of this plan, and they will be supporting me and ensuring that this commitment I had made is held. Additionally, I would be very happy to report back to my faculty throughout the semester of my improvements. This has been a very scary wake up call for me, in more than one area of my life. I hope I can have the opportunity to prove to you that this past semester does not reflect my abilities as a student, as I feel it has not reflected who I am in any way.
Thank you for taking the time to consider my academic plan. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do.
Sincerely,
Remi Oguni
