Retroactive Withdrawal
Tara L. Murphy
Summer 2007
The reasons I will be withdrawing from the 2007 spring semester are due to financial difficulties and also my current state of mental health. In this letter and its attachments, I will prove why it is important for me to late withdrawal from this semester. First off, this semester started beautifully, then I got a few tickets and was forced to move back home to Poway, to get jobs to pay off my fees. Due to the distance I’d have to travel on a daily basis for work alone, I would not have had enough time to focus on my classes. The second reason I am forced to withdrawal is because two months into the semester my antidepressants/mood stabilizers were stolen leaving me to have to go back to my doctor to get a prescription refilled. This would not have ordinarily been a problem, however, my mother had just switched jobs, changing our insurance and forcing me to wait until the paperwork cleared to get my medications back.
The reason I am on medications is because I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, depression, and ADHD. Without my medications it is hard for me to function and focus like everyone else, which ended up affecting my grades as well. So instead of settling for sub-par grades I have decided it would be in my best interest to withdrawal and pick schooling back up by Summer 2007, which I am currently enrolled in, taking six units. By taking the last semester off I have given myself a chance to grow and understand my disorder more as well as become stable on my medications. I hope that my grades will not be affected drastically by my disorder and I will still have a chance at getting into a good graduate school and become successful in my career. Thank you for hearing my case, I hope that you will understand my reasons for this withdrawal and approve my petition.
