Dear Aanandini Bambawale:

I have reviewed your appeal to Drop DEVS 240, POLS 212 (W 2019), receive Credit standing in EMPR 210 (F 2018), as well as change the grades you received in WRIT 250 (F 2018), POLS 110 (FW 2018/19) and EMPR 230 (S 2019) to Aegrotat 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.

The instructors have submitted replacement grades for WRIT 250, POLS 110 and EMPR 230 based on the work you have completed, which will appear on your transcript as follows:

WRIT 250 will have a grade of C+ along with the notation €œAegrotat: estimated grade€.
POLS 110 will have a grade of B+ along with the notation €œAegrotat: estimated grade€.
EMPR 230 will have a grade of A+ along with the notation €œAegrotat: estimated grade€.

Your grade in EMPR 210 will appear on your transcript as CR.

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.

Going forward, I encourage you to pause and evaluate your progress in your courses during week 7 of the term and to drop courses by the week 8 drop date deadline. The deadlines are outlined in the Important Dates Section on the Arts and Science web page. These deadlines have been established by the Faculty of Arts and Science to ensure a fair and equitable treatment of all students providing them with the opportunity to evaluate their progress and make informed decisions regarding dropping courses when life circumstances affect their studies.

I encourage you to continue to work with your health care team and wish you continued success in your recovery and degree progression.

Yours sincerely,


Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
