Your petition has been granted. Your final grade in MATH 280, PHYS 206, PHYS 213, and PHYS 242 (F25) will be replaced as a DR notation on your transcript once this has been processed by the Office of the University Registrar.

Going forward, you should know that it is your responsibility to pause and evaluate the impact of extenuating circumstances on your coursework prior to the drop deadline of the term. If you fall behind in a course or find the material too difficult, you should drop the course by deadline. 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.
