Dear Abduljawad Zainb:

I was sorry to read of the challenges you outlined in your letter of appeal and I have reviewed your request to change the grade you received in SOCY 300 (W 2021) to Aegrotat standing. After careful consideration of the documentation you submitted and the input received from your instructor, I will grant your appeal.

The instructor has submitted a replacement grade based on the work you have completed in SOCY 300 (W 2021) and a grade of B+ along with the notation ??Aegrotat: estimated grade? will appear on your transcript. The Registrar??s Office will process that grade change as soon as possible.

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 in your future endeavours.

Yours sincerely,


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