Dear Ms. Tabobandung:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop GPHY 208, GPHY 209, GPHY 242, and RELS 223 (F 2018) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I encourage you to continue to work with your health care supports that you have in place and suggest you register with QSAS and work with an accommodation advisor to manage both your health and academics. This could include taking a lighter course load and would include evaluating the impact of your health on your studies prior to week 8 of term.

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 wish you well in the balance of your courses this term and in your courses next term.

Yours sincerely,


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