Dear Willem,

I have reviewed your petition for Credit Standing in PHIL 359 (W23) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

As you know, Academic Appeal and Petition Regulation 3.3.1.4. states that, "Credit standing is reserved for a course in which a student who has completed all of the work of the class, including the final examination, and achieved a passing grade in the class, but due to illness or other extenuating circumstances beyond their control, earned a substantially lower grade than might have been expected.”

I have granted this request due to the severity and academic impacts of the unexpected extenuating circumstances that occurred in PHIL 359 (W23). Your grade in this course will be replaced with a ‘CR’ notation on your transcript.

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)
