Petition Letter
To Whom it May concern,
I am writing this appeal to waive the 21 day deadline to drop three courses from my transcipt. I have been unable to appeal in the appropriate time because I have been suffering from depression and anxiety for over a year now, and writing this appeal is a significant stressor that I was unable to cope with. These mental health issues stemmed from surgery that was required a year previous. Recovery was painful and much longer than anticipated, which led to the failing of the courses, and my current mental state. It got to be so stressful I had to take a year away from school to recollect myself and refocus on finishing my degree. During this time I worked with various mental and physical healthcare professionals to improve my state of being. It was only this fall that I was able to cope well enough to return to my studies and finish my degree online. I have documentation regarding both the physical and mental health aspects of my situation.
Thank you for your consideration,
Chris Hewitt
