Dear Saskia Muchalov,

I am sorry to have read of your ongoing health issues and the impact that they have had on your classes. I have reviewed your appeal to drop ARTH 215, ENGL 285 (Winter 2019), MUSC 171 (Fall 2019), GNDS 215 and HIST 108 (Fall 2020) after the academic deadline, and I have decided to grant your request.

I have granted this appeal based on the information that you presented in your appeal letter as well as the information supplied by your health care providers within your supporting documentation. I commend you for connecting with health care professionals and the Ban Righ Centre when you needed support and hope that you will continue to remain connected with your QSAS advisor for help managing your academics along with your health-related challenges going forward.

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 with your ongoing recovery,

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