Dear Julia Katz:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop MUSC 171 (S 2020) 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 outlined and that they have prevented you from being able to complete multiple components of this course. Going forward, I encourage you to pause and evaluate your progress in your courses prior to the drop deadline of the term and drop courses which are affected by your extenuating circumstances.

I acknowledge that you have chosen to remain in RELS 131 (S 2020) despite your ongoing extenuating circumstances and want to remind you to remain connected with your instructor regarding academic considerations that you may require to ensure your success in completing it.

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 (Academic)
