Course: PHIL 445
Term: Fall
Year: 2018
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline


Dear Ms. Orecchio:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop PHIL 445 (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 have described but I need to warn you that the appeals process is not meant to manage an ongoing condition. Instead, I encourage you to evaluate your progress in your courses during week 7 of the term and if you have been unable to keep up with the course requirements, you should drop courses by week 8.

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.

Sincerely,


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