Dear Vinson Duong:

I was sorry to read of the circumstances you outlined in your letter of appeal. No doubt this has been difficult for you and your family, and I will grant your appeal to drop BIOL 321 (S 2021) past the academic deadline based on that circumstance.

I encourage you to continue to work with your health care providers and if your circumstances require ongoing accommodations Vinson, you may want to register with QSAS who can help support both your health and academics by putting in place appropriate accommodations so you can meet your course work requirements.

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,


Jill Atkinson, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Academic)
