Dear Emily Deszpoth,

I am sorry to have read in your appeal letter the various challenges you experienced last year and I have reviewed your appeal to change the grades you received in PSYC 241, PSYC 202 (F 2018) and PSYC 203 (W 2019) to Credit standing. After careful consideration of the documentation you submitted and the information supplied by the instructors about the circumstances surrounding these courses, I have decided to grant your appeal.

Your grades in these courses will appear on your transcript as CR.

Emily, I encourage you to reach out to our Student Academic Success Services (SASS) who may be able to assist you with developing academic skills which will provide you with a level of resiliency should difficult circumstances arise again in the future.

I wish you luck with your courses this term.

Sincerely,


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