Academic Plan
Dear Dr. Atkinson and Dr. Bénard,
I have spoken with the the Dan School of Drama and Music, Chair of Undergraduate Studies, Jenn Stephenson, and she has confirmed that I have the required number of credits for the DRAM portion of a General BA in Drama. Having also spoken and confirmed with an Academic Advisor, it is clear that I only have to complete 15.0 more elective units in order to complete my BA.
I intend to complete these units by re-enrolling as a Part-Time student and registering for Queen¿¿s online courses - beginning with a total of 3.0 units per term. I know that one course per term will be manageable for me both financially and personally, as I have done equivalent studies and work with professional development courses provided by, or suggested by previous employers. If I find myself with the time and capacity to take on additional courses, I would enroll in no more than 6.0 units per term. However, at 3.0 units per term, with the possibility of taking one course in May/June and one course in July/August - I would like to complete my degree by Summer 2019 at the latest.
As my career has taken me toward a career in frontline politics and organizing, I intend to focus on taking elective courses in Entrepeneurship & Innovation (ENIN) and Employment Relations (EMPR) studies. Ideally, I would be able to resume my studies by enrolling in ENIN 204 as soon as my readmission is approved.
In terms of my past barriers to success as a student, as I mentioned in the above Appeal, I have developed strategies and skills in my working life that will address many of the challenges that I wasn¿¿t able to overcome in my late teens/early twenties. If I discover new challenges upon resuming my studies, I intend to avail myself of the student resources that are available to Part-Time Distance students, whenever the need arises.
Thank you for your consideration,
Lucas Costello
