Dear Ms. Paganin:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop KNPE 251 and ANAT 315 (F 2018) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I have granted this appeal based on your extenuating circumstances which occurred after the academic deadline date to drop courses had passed. Going forward, I encourage you to work with your Counsellor and an Academic Advisor to manage your academics which 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.

Yours sincerely,


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