Petition Letter
I, Xifeng (Wendy) Hu, am appealing to add two courses after the add/drop deadline. The reason why I am submitting this appeal a lot later than I had planned is per my LING 100 professor's request to complete my first LING 100 test to gauge my ability to catch up with the course.
On add drop day, I dropped all of my courses to my dismay. I was initially told that in order to become a speech therapist, a major in Linguistics or Psychology was mandatory. I spoke to professors in those two departments and I was told that I could not major in neither of the two, as I was considered a cross-faculty transfer due to my previous enrollment in commerce. I also spoke to Dr. Bernard and academic counselors in ArtSci regarding this matter.
During the entire ride home, I was heartbroken. I could not stop crying, because I was aching to return to Queen's and immerse myself in academia and extra curricular activities. As soon as I came home, I did extensive research and found out that I could major in anything to get into speech language pathology and law school. After one and a half days, I returned to Queen's.
