Dear Claire Kalnins:

I have carefully considered your request for a deferral of a deferral of the final exam in BIOL 334 (W25). After reviewing your petition and the information supplied by the instructor of the course, I have decided to grant your request.

I have granted this request due to the timeline and severity of extenuating circumstances as reported within your petition letter. It is your responsibility to connect with instructor Yates as soon as possible to make the arrangements to complete the exam, at their convenience, during the current term. Please know that instructor Yates is only available to facilitate and grade this deferred exam prior to July 15, 2025.

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,

Dorit Naaman
Associate Dean (Academic)
