Dear Henry Culver:

I was sorry to read about the health issues that you have been experiencing throughout the current academic year. I have carefully considered your appeal to drop MATH 110, MATH 120, PHYS 106, CHEM 112 (Fall/Winter 2020/2021) and BIOL 103 (Winter 2021) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I have granted this appeal because of the severity of your extenuating circumstances and am glad to see that you have connected with a health care provider for ongoing support. Going forward, I suggest that you familiar yourself with the published deadlines at the beginning of each term and make sure that you carefully assess whether you are able to manage your studies along with your health issues before the 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)
