Dear Bingjie (Maria) Xu:

I was sorry to read of the health related challenges you faced last term as well as how the current COVID 19 pandemic has impacted our ability to complete that course and I have reviewed your appeal to change the grade you received in PSYC 452 (F 2019) to Aegrotat standing based on those circumstances. After careful consideration of the documentation you submitted and the information I have received from the instructor, I have decided to grant your appeal.

The instructor has submitted a replacement grade based on the work you have completed and your grade in PSYC 452 (F 2019) will appear on your transcript as A along with the notation €œAegrotat: estimated grade€.

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.

I encourage you to continue to work with your support network Maria and congratulate you on the successful completion of our degree.

Yours sincerely,


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