Dear Danielle Palmer,

I have reviewed your request to waive the petition deadline related to dropping BIOL 200 and BIOL 316 (W21) after the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I will grant your request to drop BIOL 200 and BIOL 316 (W21) after the academic deadline due to the severity of your extenuating circumstances as confirmed within the documentation that you supplied. Your grades in these courses will be replaced with a ?DR notation??.

Going forward, 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)
