Dear Jenna Nensi,

I am sorry to have read of your health related challenges in your letter of appeal and I have reviewed your request to change the grade you received in MATH 121 (FW 2018/19) 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.

Going forward, I encourage you to pause and evaluate the impact your health related challenges are having on your studies and if you have been unable to keep up with the course requirements, you should drop courses by the drop date deadline. Appeals are not meant to manage a chronic condition but to address issues that arise after the drop date deadlines.

I encourage you to continue to work with your health care professionals and to consider registering with QSAS if your health related challenges continue. A QSAS Advisor can assist you with both your academics and your health concerns.

Sincerely,


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