Petition Letter
Dear Associate Dean (Studies),
I am appealing for late withdrawal from PSYC 100 (Summer 2018) and to re-take the course in Winter. Unfortunately, due to personal extenuating circumstances surrounding family domestic problems that led to psychological and physical challenges, I am unable to sufficiently keep up with course readings and workloads required of me.
A recent crisis that occurred at the beginning of June led to a difficult but necessary decision to transition out of a traumatic situation at home. Figuring out abrupt rehoming, and coping with intense trauma made keeping up with course material (where 20-hour investment is recommended per week) and preparation for my midterm exam extremely difficult.
Although I attempted to keep up and managed completion of many assignments, quizzes, and forum interaction posts, the emotional strain in my personal life continued to increase and truly impacted my ability to keep concentration. The mental instability I felt became debilitating and I do not believe I am fit for fair assessment of my academic abilities during this state.
