Dear Xiangyi,

As part of the standard process when appealing to the Board of Studies, the Associate Dean (Academic) reviews your appeal submission. I have carefully considered your appeal to drop GPHY 230 (Winter 2022). Given the documentation from your doctors that paints a vivid picture of you being unwell through winter 2022, I am compelled to grant this appeal. This is a lenient compassionate decision to let you move on from this experience.

I see that you have graduated, and I wish you all the best as you move on to new experiences. Please note, as you have graduated no further appeals will be heard.

Your transcript will be updated to reflect the dropped course.

Yours sincerely,


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