Dear Ms. Diab:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop DRAM 303 (W 2018) past the academic deadline and receive Credit standing in POLS 338, SOCY 211 and RELS 212 (W 2018). After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request. Your grades in POLS 338, SOCY 211 and RELS 212 will appear on your transcript as CR.

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.

I am pleased to hear that you are finding better ways to manage your illness. However, should you find that it affects your studies going forward, it is imperative that you drop courses by week 8. Please consider seeing an advisor in week 7 to realistically appraise your engagement and determine which courses, if any, to drop.

Yours sincerely,



Jill Atkinson, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Studies)
