Dear Ms. Wilkie:
I have reviewed your appeal to change the grades you received in BIOL 205, CISC 124 and CISC 220 (Fall 2017) to Credit standing. After careful consideration of the documentation you submitted, I have decided to grant your appeal. Your grades in these courses will appear on your transcript as CR.
Note that CR grades indicate that you have obtained the course credit and they will count toward your total units needed for graduation, but they may not necessarily satisfy prerequisites to take further courses if a minimum grade is required (this is up to the discretion of the department offering the course.) If a minimum grade is required as a prerequisite, you may need to repeat the course and earn the minimum grade in order to proceed in further courses.
As I have indicated in my email to you of March 1, please remember that students with chronic health conditions are expected to monitor their condition carefully and drop courses as needed by the end of Week 8 if their health precludes them from succeeding, instead of completing courses and asking to have those with the lowest grades altered after the fact. Altering a transcript is never done lightly and is not the appropriate remedy for conditions that exist prior to Week 8 of the term. Moving forward, it will be important to work with your Accessibility Advisor and pay close attention to your work load and to the drop deadlines. Altering grades after the fact is not likely to be granted a third time unless there is clear evidence of an acute or new situation beyond your control.
Sincerely,
Jill Atkinson, Ph.D.
