Dear Claire Squire:

I have reviewed your appeal request for Credit Standing in STAT 263 (F21). After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

Your grade in this class will be replaced by a CR notation on your transcript.

I have granted this appeal due to the severity of your extenuating circumstances and the strong support that I had received from your instructor. If you find yourself impacted by similar circumstances in the future, it is your responsibility to utilize appropriate academic options such as Academic Consideration to request an exam deferral. It is never recommended to write an exam while you are not well.

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,

Amitava Chowdhury, Ph.D.
Special Advisor to the Dean
Faculty of Arts and Science
