Academic Plan
I have been attending the HLTH 331 lectures as of week 3 and will continue to attend the upcoming lectures until the outcome of my appeal is known. I have 2 housemates who are taking that course and I will be going over lecture slides and the course outline with them to stay up to speed with the course. Additionally. Professor McDonough has agreed to let me submit upcoming assignments at the time they are due and leave them unmarked in a folder until the outcome of my appeal. This way if I am accepted into the class, my work can be marked and I can avoid having to do supplementary work to catch up. The HLTH 101 course is only offered online at this time and I am unable to access the lectures unless I am enrolled in the course but 1 of my housemates took the main campus HLTH 101 course last year and has given me her lecture notes, exam review, and textbooks so I can have a good idea of the content.
The reason I am applying for an appeal instead of waiting for another semester to enroll is that I need at least a B+ in HLTH 101 to apply for health studies and I need to be in health studies to take the majority of the health courses for my third year. If I wait to take the health 101 course in another semester, I would be unable to apply for the major and have to wait until May 2019 and be unable to take any other courses for my major in my third year. This would put me behind and I would have to take at least 1 additional year for my undergraduate degree. As for HLTH 331, I already have the prerequisite and it will give me a slight head start on my major because I am trying to do everything I can to graduate on time with my class of 2020.
