Dear Richard:

I was sorry to read in your petition letter of the challenges you outlined and have carefully considered your request to drop GPHY 227, GPHY 228 and IDIS 173 (F 2022) past the academic deadline. Based on your circumstances and documentation, I will grant your request.

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.

I encourage you to continue to work with your health care team if ongoing rehabilitation therapy is necessary, and I wish you all the best in your future academic pursuits.

Yours sincerely,


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