Dear Ms. McEachern:

I was sorry to read of the health related difficulties you have experienced this term and have carefully considered your appeal to drop ARTH 342, ARTH 354, ARTH 308, ARTH 210 (W 2019) and ENGL 200 (F/W 2018-19) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

In the future, I am confident that you will make every effort to inform yourself of the academic regulations concerning deadlines as they are outlined in the Important Dates section on the Arts and Science web page. Please ensure you assess your progress in your courses or discuss your options with an Academic Advisor during week 7 or 8 of the term. If you find that you have fallen behind in your attendance, readings or assignments, it is your responsibility to drop by the end of 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.

Best wishes in your recovery.

Yours sincerely,


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