Dear Ms. Depew:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop ENGL 238 and ENGL 244 (W 2017) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I am confident that in the future you will make every effort to drop courses by the 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 that students have 8 weeks to evaluate their progress and, if life circumstances are compromising their studies, to drop course without academic penalty. Going forward you will be expected to drop courses by week 8 should you experience extenuating circumstances.

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.

Yours sincerely,



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