Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.

Course: HIST 270
Term: Summer
Year: 2020
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline


Dear Tracy MacLeod:

I was interested to read of the circumstances you outlined in your letter of appeal. No doubt those circumstances would have made completing this course a challenge and I will grant your appeal to drop HIST 270 (S 2020) past the academic deadline based on that circumstance.

Going forward, I encourage you to pause and evaluate your progress in courses during week 7 of the term and if you have been unable to keep up with the course requirements or feel that dropping a course is in your best interest, you should do so by the week 8 drop date deadline.

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.

Best of luck in your degree progression.

Yours sincerely,


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