Dear Parker Jones,

I am sorry to have read in your appeal letter the challenges you experienced during Fall term 2020 and the difficulty you had getting your accommodations in place until late October 2020. I have reviewed your appeal to change the grade you received in STAT 263 (F 2020) to Credit standing. After careful consideration of the documentation you submitted and the information supplied by the instructor about the learning outcomes achieved in this course, I have decided to grant your appeal.

Your grade in STAT 263 will appear on your transcript as CR.

Going forward, I encourage you to continue to work with your counsellor and your QSAS Advisor and to carefully evaluate your progress in each of your courses prior to the drop deadline and if you have fallen behind or you are not performing in a course to your satisfaction, you should drop courses by the drop deadline.

Another tool to manage your academics is our Academic Consideration service. A student can request short term consideration if they need more time to complete an assignment or had to miss a class due to extenuating circumstances. Here is the link for information about that process:

Sincerely,


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