Dear Ms. Kilgour:

I was sorry to read of the difficult challenges you experienced in the past and the impact that had on your studies during the Fall 2018 term. In light of the extenuating circumstances you have outlined, I have decided to grant your request to drop BIOL 300, BIOL 335, BIOL 369 and BIOL 339 (W 2019) past the academic deadline.

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 wish you well in your recovery and do hope that the courses you are currently registered in are going well.

Yours sincerely,


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