Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline

Dear Kaiyuan Guo:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop BCHM 315 (F21) after the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

Your grade in this course will be replaced with a ??DR? notation on your transcript.

I have granted your request due to the severity of your extenuating circumstances and the information supplied by your health care provided within your supporting documentation. Going forward, I suggest that you evaluate your academic progress during week 7 of the term and make sure to drop courses that you have fallen behind in or find the material too difficult in by week 8 of the term. The drop deadlines, as they have been outlined in the ??Important Dates? section on the Arts and Science web page, have been established by the Faculty of Arts and Science to ensure a fair and equitable treatment of all students.

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.

Sincerely,

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