Dear Mr. Brar:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop WRIT 125 (F 2017) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I would like to note that this is a lenient decision. It is the student€™s responsibility to manage their registration carefully and ensure courses are dropped properly by the deadline. Make sure you check from this point forward.

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.

I am confident that in the future you will make every effort to inform yourself of the academic regulations concerning deadlines as they are outlined in Important Dates Section on the Arts and Science web page. These deadlines have been established by the Faculty of Arts and Science to ensure a fair and equitable treatment of all students providing them with the opportunity to evaluate their progress and make informed decisions regarding dropping courses when life circumstances affect their studies.

Yours sincerely,


Jill Atkinson, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Studies)
