Petition Letter
Dear Associate Dean,
I am appealing to drop GEOL 200 (July-Aug, 2021) without a financial penalty. The official drop date for this course without academic penalty is July 30th, so I would be able to drop this course without negatively impacting my transcript, however it would be greatly appreciated if I were granted an appeal to waive the financial fees. I am a student registered with QSAS due to mental health conditions which negatively impact me both academically and socially. In the past school year, I have been prescribed medication, been hospitalized twice, and developed stomach ulcers due to my condition. At the moment I am already taking two courses (May-July) and the addition of GEOL 200 (July-Aug) has become overwhelming, which I did not initially realize which is why I did not drop the course prior to July 9th (the last date to drop without financial penalty). I am also quite stressed financially at the moment due to COVID and if I were able to drop GEOL 200 without a financial penalty, I feel that this would greatly benefit my mental health. Please let me know if that would be possible.
Many thanks,
Lillian Burke Simpson
