Dear Ms. Hollis:

I have reviewed your appeal to change the grades you received in SOCY 384 and SOCY 336 (F 2017) 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 instructor of SOCY 384 has already submitted a replacement grade based on the work you have completed, which will appear on your transcript as A along with the notation €œAegrotat: estimated grade€.

The instructor of SOCY 336 has also submitted a replacement grade based on the work you have completed, which will appear on your transcript as B along with the notation €œAegrotat: estimated grade€.

Yours sincerely,
