Dear Chuhan Huang,

I am sorry to have read of the passing of your grandfather in your appeal letter and am sorry for your loss. No doubt this has been difficult for you and your family. I have reviewed your appeal to change the grade you received in GEOL 102 (F 2019) to Credit standing. After careful consideration of the documentation you submitted and the information supplied by the instructor about the circumstances surrounding this course, I have decided to grant your appeal.

Your grade in this course will appear on your transcript as CR.

I encourage you to reach out to our Student Wellness Services office in Mitchell Hall if you wish to discuss this loss with a counsellor who can help support you during this grieving process.

With sincere sympathy,


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