Dear Jessica Franko:

I was sorry to have read in your letter of appeal the challenges that impacted your studies this term. Based on the circumstances outlined as well as your documentation, I have decided to grant your appeal to drop POLS 385 (W 2019) past the academic deadline.

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 do hope that you will follow through with your plan to reach out to Student Wellness services. They may be able to help you develop strategies to deal with the challenges you have shared.

Yours sincerely,


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