Dear Mr. Scolbeck:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop HIST 263 (F 2018) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I have granted this appeal based on the extenuating circumstances you outline. I encourage you to continue to consult with your caseworker at Brock University to assist you with both the grief counselling you mention you will be receiving as well as developing strategies for dealing with your anxiety.

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,


Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Studies)
