Dear Ashley Canete:

I was sorry to read of the circumstances you outlined in your letter of appeal. No doubt this has been difficult to deal with and I will grant your appeal to drop DEVS 280 (F 2021) past the academic deadline based on that circumstance.

I encourage you to reach out to Student Wellness Services Ashley if you would like to seek confidential support as you grieve the loss of your friend and I do hope the dropping of this course does indeed help you manage the balance of your courses this term.

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)
