Dear Daisy May Boyle,

I am sorry to have read of the passing of your Father and want to offer you my condolences. I have carefully considered your appeal to drop GEOL 104, GPHY 203, GPHY 209 (Fall 2019) and GPHY 209 (Fall 2020) after the academic deadline and have decided to grant your request.

I have granted this appeal based on the severity of the extenuating circumstances that had impacted you during the Fall 2019 term and I also acknowledge how the news of your Father€™s illness must have impacted your ability to make academic decisions during the Fall 2020 term. I was glad to read that you have remained connected with your health-care support team and I wish you the best in your return to studies for the upcoming Summer term.

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.

With sincere sympathy,

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