Academic Plan
If my appeal is granted, my academic plan outlines the set of goals and plan I intend on following in order to ensure my academic success at Queen's University in the upcoming year.
Upon returning to queens I intend on choosing a Major in Mathematics for my selected plan. Following my second year, I hope to switch Majors to Biology. My plan in Mathematics includes me retaking Biology 103 and Math 121 to increase my GPA and ensure I have the prerequisites needed to switch my plan to Biology in the following year. The courses I intend on taking next year are based off of my interests to ensure I excel in my studies. I plan on selecting Sociology 122, Chemistry 211/212, Anatomy 100/101 and/or Pharmacology 100. These courses tend to have opening at time of open enrolment and will ensure I maintain a full course load next year.
My status as a full time student next year would keep me working hard and focused as I do not plan on working during my school year. This will ensure total academic focus and success.
This past academic year I was faced with unfortunate extenuating circumstances that hindered my performance in my courses. I internalized my feeling and problems and attempted to work regardless of the negative effects it caused me physically and mentally. Since the end of the school year I have improved significantly and have been working on opening up and communicating my problems to others. I plan on scheduling meetings with councillors available to me at Queen's and taking full advantage of the student support services. On monday afternoons, if appointment is available, I plan on having talks with the counselling services to let them now of any stress and struggles I am having when need arise. Following that, I plan on visiting the QLC and attending their learning strategy workshops as well as learning strategy advising in order to gain the proper methods of studying and working under stress.
Following the circumstances I faced during my first year, I have learned that Queen's is able to help me if I let them and open myself up to the opportunities. My academic plan backs this statement and will serve as my tool to bounce back and ensure my academic success moving foreword.
