Dear Ms. Martin:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop CHEM 223 (W 2016) past the academic deadline and receive Credit standing in CHEM 211, CHEM 212 and STAT 263 (F 2015). After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request. Your grades in CHEM 211, CHEM 212 and STAT 263 will appear on your transcript as CR.

I am confident that in the future you will make every effort to inform yourself of the academic regulations concerning deadlines as they are outlined in Important Dates Section on the Arts and Science web page. These deadlines have been established by the Faculty of Arts and Science to ensure a fair and equitable treatment of all students providing them with the opportunity to evaluate their progress and make informed decisions regarding dropping courses when life circumstances affect their studies.

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.

Yours sincerely,



Johanne Bénard, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Studies)
