Course: ANAT 100
Term: Fall

Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline

Dear Larissa Gulfam:

I have carefully considered your petition to drop ANAT 100 (F22) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

Your grade in this course will be replaced with a ?DR?? notation on your transcript.

I want you to know that this was a lenient decision as your extenuating circumstances began before the academic drop deadline of the term. I have granted this request as I recognize that this was your first year at University. It is the student??s responsibility to pause and evaluate the impact of extenuating circumstances on their classes during week 7 of the term. If they have fallen behind in a course or find the material too difficult, they should drop the course by week 8 of term. The drop deadlines, outlined in the ??Important Dates? section on the Faculty of Arts and Science web page, have been established 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.
