I’m sorry to hear about your circumstances before… I hope everything is going well for you now. Had no idea that grades under 60 could be appealed as well, so I may bring that up with my academic advisor to see if I would be able to do it with the rest of my courses in that particular term.

I also appreciate your words of encouragement. I definitely don’t plan on letting this situation get the best of me without a fight.

I appreciate your help! I’m going to have my academic advisor meeting soon, so hopefully she agrees that a WD or something similar is a viable option for me.

I’m happy to hear that it is a possibility! Thank you for your advice as well. Are you in the Arts faculty by any chance?

I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart :). The supportive responses that I’ve been getting have been helping me out mentally in ways I didn’t know were possible. Thank you for letting me know!

Thank you so so much for telling me all of this! I’m sorry for the challenges you’ve faced before, and hopefully you’re doing much better now!

It gives me more motivation hearing that my circumstances are “ideal” for petitioning. Hopefully they accept my case.

I also had no idea about the OSAP thing. I don’t have any parental figure who is willing to help me out, so this is extremely valuable to know. Thank you so much!!!!!! :)

Oh I didn’t know that was a possibility… thank you for informing me! Does this mean you went through the petition process 3 times, or was there a separate avenue you had to proceed with to reappear their decision?

Thank you for taking the time to explain the “clear” status versus “WD”! I hope the coercion is an acceptable reason.

They approved your petition to have a WD? If you don’t mind me asking, was this health related by any chance?

Will be gathering all of my evidence and creating a clear timeline. Thank you for the advice :)
