Dear Gemma Donn:

I was sorry to read about the challenges you outlined in your appeal letter and I have carefully considered your request to drop CHEM 114 (S 2020). Based on the information presented and your documentation, I have decided to grant your request.

I am pleased to see that you are meeting with a health care professional who can help you manage your anxiety, and I encourage you to continue to work with your Counsellor as needed.

Note that any change in academic registration may impact government or private-firm student financial assistance eligibility and/or funding. g 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.

Best of luck in your future career goals.

Yours sincerely,


Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
