Dear Jake,

I have reviewed your petition for Credit Standing in Credit Standing in PSYC 221, PSYC 236, and PSYC 241 (W22). After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

Your grades in these courses will be replaced with a ‘CR’ notation on your transcript.

I have granted this request due to the timeline and severity of your extenuating circumstances as confirmed by the documentation you supplied. Going forward you should know that 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.
