Dear Graydon Sims:

I was sorry to have read in your letter of appeal the circumstances you have encountered this term. No doubt that has been difficult for you and your family and I will certainly grant your appeal to drop POLS 243 (F 2020) past the academic deadline based on that circumstance.

I encourage you to continue to work with Student Wellness Services Graydon as they can offer you the support you may require at this time. They are available for remote counselling.

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.

Yours sincerely,



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