Dear Ms. McCurdy:

I am sorry to read of the health challenges you have had this term and in light of the extenuating circumstances you have outlined, I have decided to grant your request to drop POLS 385 (W 2019) past the academic deadline.

I was glad to read in your letter of appeal that you have been proactive in seeking help and also pleased to have noted that you have ascertained that dropping this course may help ensure that you make your health and wellbeing your priority.

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 the best with your recovery.

Yours sincerely,


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