Petition Letter
Dear Associate Dean (Studies),
I am appealing to drop PHIL256 (Fall, 2018).
I suffered a loss in the family on October 28th, 2018, this affected my ability to make a thought out informed decision and my mental health. This affected PHIL 256 because I was planning on dropping this course but due to my circumstances being so close to the deadline I missed it. This impacts my academic success because I was planning on dropping this course because of the stress it puts on me, the time it takes away from being able to do my best work in other classes and my loss made this harder to deal with. The circumstances are still affecting me but I am connected with student wellness and they are helping me cope with the loss and stress better.
My future plan is to continue to work with student wellness to deal with the issues facing me. This will help me achieve academic success by being able to cope with the circumstances at hand and deal with stress better.
All the best,
Thomas
