Dear Jake Ahearne:

I was sorry to have read in your letter of appeal that your anxiety has been heightened recently. No doubt your panic attacks have impacted your studies this term so, I have decided to grant your appeal to drop CISC 102 (S 2019) past the academic deadline based on those circumstances as well as the documentation you have provided. I am hopeful that the dropping of this course will ease the pressures you are feeling at this time.

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 your continued recovery.

Yours sincerely,


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