Dear Alexandra Partridge:

I was sorry to read of the health-related challenges you faced last term and I have reviewed your appeal to change the grade you received in KNPE 153 (F 2020) to Aegrotat standing based on those circumstances. After careful consideration of the documentation you submitted and the information I have received from your instructor, I have decided to grant your appeal.

The instructor of KNPE 153 has submitted a pro-rated replacement grade based on the work you had completed which 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 wish you well in your current courses.

Yours sincerely,


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