Dear Camden Kilfoyle:

I was sorry to read about the mental health issues that you have been experiencing during the current Winter term and have carefully considered your appeal to drop MATH 121, MATH 111 (Fall/Winter 2020/2021) and PHIL 157 (Winter 2021) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I acknowledge how your extenuating circumstances had impacted your ability to make academic decisions surrounding the drop deadline and am pleased that you have established an academic plan to complete your remaining Winter term classes with the support of your instructors. Going forward, I am confident that you will make every effort to inform yourself of the academic regulations concerning deadlines as they are outlined in the Important Dates section on the Arts and Science web page and ensure that courses are dropped on SOLUS successfully before the posted drop 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.

Yours sincerely,

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