Dear Melissa Stire,

I have reviewed your appeal to change the grades you received in SOCY 422 and SOCY 305 (W 2019) to Credit standing. After careful consideration of the documentation you submitted and the information supplied by the instructors about your academic performance in these courses, I have decided to grant your appeal.

Your grades in SOCY 422 and SOCY 305 will appear on your transcript as CR.

I encourage you to continue to seek support from the various services on campus that are helpful as well as continue to work with QSAS to potentially get the appropriate accommodations. I would also suggest that you evaluate the impact of your health on your studies prior to week 8 of term and to drop courses if necessary at that time.

Sincerely,

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