Dear Diana Ingham:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop PSYC 204 and BIOL 103 (W 2019) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I have granted this appeal based on the extenuating circumstances you have described but I need to warn you that any further appeals based on exam anxiety will not be granted. Instead, I would encourage you to work with your QSAS Advisor to ensure appropriate accommodations are arranged. Going forward, I suggest that you pause and evaluate your progress in your courses during week 7 of the term and drop courses by the week 8 drop date deadline if you have fallen behind or if your health has negatively impacted your studies.

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.

Sincerely,


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