I am writing to petition the ability to graduate from the Engineering Management Graduate program with a 2.942 GPA. I am aware that the GPA requirement for graduation is a 3.00, but I would like you to take my petition into consideration.

On New Year’s Eve of 2014 I was informed that my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. That spring (2015) while working full-time and taking four (4) courses at UMBC, I was also responsible for the care of my mother as she underwent radiation 5 days a week and two surgery procedures to remove the cancerous cells from her body. Not only was I dealing with my mother being sick
