Dear Ms. Card:

I have reviewed your appeal to change the grades you received in ENGL 100, POLS 110, PHIL 111 (FW 201718) and PHIL 153 (W 2018) to Aegrotat standing. After careful consideration of the documentation you submitted and the information supplied by the instructors about the circumstances surrounding these course, I have decided to grant your appeal.

The instructors of the courses have already submitted replacement grades based on the work you have completed. They will appear on your transcript as follows:

ENGL 100 B along with the notation €œAegrotat: estimated grade€.
POLS 110 B along with the notation €œAegrotat: estimated grade€.
PHIL 111 B- along with the notation €œAegrotat: estimated grade€.
PHIL 153 B+ along with the notation €œAegrotat: estimated grade€.

As a result of this successful appeal, your request for academic consideration is no longer needed for the above mentioned courses and will therefore be withdrawn.

Yours sincerely,



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