Dear Megan Siokalo:

I have reviewed your appeal to request Credit Standing in PSYC 100 (FW 2020/2021). After careful consideration of the information you provided in your appeal letter, and the information supplied by the instructors surrounding this course, I have decided to grant your appeal.

Your grade in PSYC 100 will appear on your transcript as CR.

I have granted this appeal due to the severity of your extenuating circumstances and I acknowledge how your academic ability would have been impacted due to the content in this course. Going forward, I would suggest that you remain connected with Student Wellness Services for ongoing support so that you can continue to 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.

Yours sincerely,

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