Petition Letter
Dear Associate Dean of History,
I am writing this appeal request to drop HIST 305A, and be alternatively granted the course credit for the 3.0 unit equivalent, HIST 296.
I made the honest mistake during my course selection of choosing two 300 level, core seminar history courses. I am a concurrent education student, pursuing a medial in history and english. Although I have truly enjoyed both my 300 level seminar courses, I should only be enrolled in one to stay on the correct path to complete my medial. After realizing that I made a serious mistake in my course selection, I have been nothing but stressed knowing I was at fault, as well as anxious to fix my mistake. In addition, I believe there is a reason why students are only supposed to be enrolled in one300 level core seminar when completing a medial, particularly in regard to course load. It has been a challenge to balance two 300 level core seminars in addition to the english side of my medial. My education, as well as maintaining a good academic average are very important to me. As I reflect on my semester, I realize that much of my anxiety and increasing stress level has been due to my stress load in relation to balancing two 300 level core seminar history courses. In addition, I am still required to complete my concurrent education practicum. As I sit here thinking about the upcoming winter semester, I am already overwhelmed.
When I completed my course selection, I did not realize my mistake. I went into this academic year prepared to take on my second year at Queen's University. I was finding the workload quite heavy but truly didn¿¿t realize it was due to a course mistake of my own selection. I was more than halfway through the semester when I looked into options to see what I could do about this challenge. This is when I knew I had made a mistake. Right away I contacted my academic advisor and she confirmed that I had made an error and suggested that I talk to the department of history, which I did immediately following my meeting.
If you would be so kind as to grant me this appeal, I would like to enroll in HIST 243. Receiving the credit for HIST 296 instead of 305A, as well as enrolling in HIST 243 for the winter term, would ease a great amount of stress, as well as put me on the correct academic schedule for completing my medial at Queen¿¿s University.
Sincerely,
Emma Landriault
