Dear Rita Batumubwira:

I was sorry to have read in your letter of appeal of the very difficult year you have had. No doubt these challenges have been difficult for you Rita and I will certainly grant your appeal to drop PHIL 111, FREN 150, POLS 110, SOCY 122 and PSYC 100 (FW 2020/21) past the academic deadline based on those challenges.

I encourage you to continue to work with your support team from Student Wellness Services as well as Support Services Rita, and will hope that you are able to find a stable environment so you can attend to your health and wellness.

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.

Yours sincerely,


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