Dear Ms. Mintsoulis:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop CHEM 281 (F 2018). After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I encourage you to continue to work with your health care professionals, including a counsellor from QSAS, to manage both your health and academics. I am pleased to see that you are taking a lighter course load in winter term and suggest you evaluate the impact of your health on your studies prior to week 8 of term and dropping courses which are affected by your 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,


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