Dear Zhongyao Liu,

I have reviewed your petition to drop ECON 212, ECON 222, ECON 255 (F22), ECON 348, GEOL 106, STAT 263 and WRIT 125 (W23) after the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

For your information: our office will process the late drops in your SOLUS account and no further action from you is required. Once dropped, the courses will appear as ??withdrawn? in your schedule and a ??DR? notation will be placed on your transcript once the Winter term grades are released in May.

I want you to know that this was a lenient decision as your extenuating circumstances began before these terms began. I have granted this request due to the academic impacts of your extenuating circumstances as confirmed by the documentation you supplied. Upon your return to studies, it is your responsibility to pause and evaluate the impact of extenuating circumstances on your classes during week 7 of the term. If you have fallen behind in a course or find the material too difficult, you should drop the course by week 8 of 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 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)
