Petition Letter
I am appealing to waive the 21 Day Deadline. I had not received an email regarding my withdrawal for a year nor had I gotten a notification on Solus up until July. On July 8th, I noticed a tab under ?Holds?? with Req. to Withdraw for a Year and as soon as I had done my research on it I reached out to the ASC Academic Advising to learn more information and ways to appeal it. I have been receiving counselling in order to improve academically shortly after the Winter 2021 exams and am confident I can achieve a much higher GPA. I was given information on ways I could appeal the requirement to withdraw. As soon as I received the email I started writing out the appeal explaining my situation entirely and collecting the documentation to prove I had been attending counselling sessions to improve. I had submitted on July 21st but I was not informed about the deadlines to send in an appeal in the ASC Academic Advising email. I wish to send a proper appeal regarding my low GPA because I had no proof of my worsening mental health during the past school year up until April 20th when I had started my session. Though I started to seek professional help midway through the Winter semester, I could not apply for Long-Term Academic Consideration as it took around just over a month to be assigned to a suitable counsellor. I have been working hard for the past 4 months to achieve better academically by re-organizing my life after the mental setback and hope I can get a chance to redeem myself.
