Dear Shivani Maharishi,

I am sorry to have read of your father€™s illness during the Fall term 2019 and his subsequent passing and am sorry for your loss. No doubt this has been difficult for you and your family. I have reviewed your appeal to change the grades you received in ECON 212, ECON 250 and DEVS 250 (F 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.

I encourage you to continue to connect with the various support services available Shivani which can help support you during this difficult grieving process.

With sincere sympathy,

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