Dear Ms. Pitcher:

I have reviewed your appeal to drop PSYC 271 (F 2015), POLS 110, HIST 122 (FW 2015/16) and SPAN 112 (W 2016) past the academic deadlines as well as change the grades you received in DEVS 100 and RELS 131 (FW 2015/16) to Aegrotat standing. After careful consideration of the documentation you submitted and the information supplied by the instructors about the circumstances surrounding these courses, I have decided to grant your appeal.

The instructors of DEVS 100 and RELS 131 submitted replacement grades based on the work you have completed, which will now appear on your transcript as follows along with the notation €œAegrotat: estimated grade€:

DEVS 100 B- €œAegrotat: estimated grade€
RELS 131 B+ €œAegrotat: estimated grade€

Note that any change in academic registration may impact government or private-firm student financial assistance eligibility and/or funding. Please consult with the Student Awards Office, Office of the University Registrar, Gordon Hall, to understand the potential implications of changes to course or program registration and/or the consequences of not successfully completing the required course load.

Sincerely,

Johanne Bénard, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Studies)
