Dear Kevin Kodis:

I have carefully reviewed your appeal to drop MUSC 127 (FW 2012/13), MUSC 187 (F 2013), MUSC 221, and MUSC 263 (FW 2013/14) past the academic deadline dates. No doubt a pre-existing and undiagnosed disorder impacted your studies during this time period so, based on your circumstances and documentation, I am willing to grant this appeal.

I am pleased to see that you are currently registered with QSAS and receiving the accommodations which will help lead you to continued success.

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 of luck in your future endeavours.

Yours sincerely,


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