I verify that the information contained in this petition package is complete and valid, and that I have considered all relevant aspects of dropping courses after the deadline. I also acknowledge that "submitting false or misrepresentative medical certificates or other documentation in support of requests for concessions on academic work or deadlines" will be dealt with under the Code of Student Behaviour and Disciplinary Procedures. I further acknowledge that a successful academic petition does not absolve me of my financial obligations to the University.
