Dear Mr. Adegbayi:

I am sorry to hear that you have been struggling during the Fall 2018 term. After reviewing your request to drop CISC 121 (F 2018) past the academic deadline and to receive credit standing in COGS 100 (F 2018) and CLST 102 (F 2018), I have decided to grant your request. Your grades in COGS 100 and CLST 102 will appear on your transcript as CR.

I have granted this appeal based on your extenuating circumstances, but I need to warn you that the appeals process is not meant to be used to manage ongoing problems. The Appeal process is designed for students who encounter problems, or whose problems become acute, after the drop deadline. You are clearly reaching out for support on campus and I would recommend you continue working the various division€™s within Student Wellness. I would also encourage you to work with an Academic Advisor to manage your academics prior to week 8 of term.

Please 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,



Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Studies)
