Dear Sophia Townsend:

I have carefully considered your appeal for Aegrotat Standing in BIOL 102 and KNPE 153 (Fall 2020). After reviewing your file and the information that I received from your instructors, I have decided to grant your request.

I acknowledge that you were not able to complete these courses due to the severity of your concussion and understand how unpredictable your recovery has been. I was happy to read that you are continuing with your studies with a reduced course load and I wish you the best with your ongoing recovery.

Your instructor for BIOL 102 has submitted a replacement grade which will appear on your transcript as an B, along with the notation €œAegrotat: estimated grade€.

Your instructor for KNPE 153 has submitted a replacement grade which will appear on your transcript as an B-, 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.

Sincerely,

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