Dear Marli Robinson:

I was sorry to read that you have been struggling with mental health-related challenges during the Winter 2021 term. I have carefully considered your appeal to drop LING 320, PSYC 251, and LLCU 205 (W 2021) past the academic deadline and I have decided to grant your request.

I have granted this appeal based on your extenuating circumstances as well as the proactive steps that you had taken by connecting with both health-care professionals and your instructors regarding your situation. Going forward, I encourage you to continue working with your health-care provider to help you manage your academics along with your health-related challenges.

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 with your ongoing recovery.

Yours sincerely,

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