Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.

Course: HIST 108
Term: Fall
Year: 2022
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline
Dear Maria:
I am sorry to have read of the circumstances you have outlined in your petition letter, and I have carefully considered your request to drop HIST 108 (F 2022) past the academic deadline due to those circumstances. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your petition.
Maria, I strongly encourage you continue to work with a health professional and QSAS, and to proactively manage the impact of your condition on your academics. Going forward, you will be responsible for managing the impact of your challenges on your academics proactively and not after the fact via the petition process. I suggest that you to carefully evaluate your progress in each of your courses prior to the week 8 drop deadline and if you have fallen behind or you are not performing in courses to your satisfaction, you should drop courses by the drop deadline.
Another tool to manage your academics in addition to dropping a course by the drop deadline or via the petition process is our Academic Consideration protocol. As you know, a student can request 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.
Sincerely,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Academic)
