Petition Letter
Dear Dr. Johanne Benard,
I am appealing to add three courses: CLST203, HIST253, and ECON243 past the deadline. However I have been previously enrolled in ECON243 and dropped it by error. Although I take full responsibility for not having met the deadline clearly set, I am making this appeal due to personal and academic challenges that paralyzed my decision making process in regards to the courses I would select. My transcript depicts what I hope to continue moving through the next few years of Queens, a maturing and growing student. I was a lackadaisical student in first year, experimenting in courses that I have come to understand were uninteresting to me. In the Fall term of this year I have discovered my love for economics and am excited to pursue further learning having improved my GPA 2.2 points and counting. However my failings in first year haunt me, I was worried that the success I was seeing was only temporary and that the courses I was thinking of applying to would be too difficult. This fear is what paralyzed me, facing the add course button in Solus, and for that I apologize profusely. I understand now after meeting with Spring the academic advisor the burden this places on the Solus system.
