Dear Lexi:
I was sorry to read of the circumstances you outlined in your letter of appeal. No doubt this has been a difficult time for you and your family, and I am sorry for your loss. I will grant your appeal to drop DEVS 221 and HIST 252 (F 2021) past the academic deadline based on the circumstance outlined.
I have granted this appeal, understanding that the loss of your grandmother in September continued to impact your health during the Winter term, and I am pleased to see that you are connected with Four Directions who can help support you during this difficult time.
Going forward, I encourage you to carefully evaluate your progress in each of your courses prior to week 7 and if you have fallen behind or you are not performing in the courses to your satisfaction, you should drop courses by the week 8 drop deadline.
Another tool to manage your academics in addition to dropping a course by the drop deadline is our Academic Consideration protocol. A student can request short term consideration if they need more time to complete an assignment or had to miss a class due to documented extenuating circumstances. Here is the link for information about that process:

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,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
