Petition Letter
Associate Dean (Academic),
My name is Zachary Garlock, and I am a first-year student at Queens University. I am contacting you regarding an academic appeal. I would like to have two courses that I took in the first term (2021-22 school year) removed from my transcript. These courses are GPHY 102 Physical Geography and HIST 104 Pre-Confed Canada.
I am appealing these courses based on extenuating circumstances. Specifically, I have been experiencing anxiety for much of the school year. This was diagnosed by my family physician on December 15, 2021. I have attached her diagnosis as part of the appeal process. I believe the anxiety started 6-8 weeks into the school year and has continued since. I found this time to be very stressful and challenging. The anxiety diagnosis effected my ability to carry a full course load. This led to these two courses suffering. It was not until I reached out to my doctor and was diagnosed that I began my ongoing treatment for anxiety.
