Dear Jordana Cardarelli:

I was sorry to have read in your letter of appeal the circumstances you outlined. No doubt this has been a difficult period and I will grant your appeal to drop HIST 400 (F 2019) past the academic deadline based on those circumstances.

I encourage you to continue to work with your health care professionals and suggest you consider registering with QSAS if you require ongoing accommodation and support. A QSAS Advisor can assist you with both your health and your academics.

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 the balance of your current courses.

Yours sincerely,


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