Dear Anita:

I am sorry to have read in your letter of appeal that you had a difficult term and I have carefully considered your appeal to drop EMPR 200 (W 2022) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I have granted this appeal based on??your circumstances and documentation provided. I strongly suggest that you to follow through with your health care provider??s recommendation that you reach out to our Student Wellness office to discuss testing and counselling. Going forward, I encourage you to carefully evaluate your progress in each of your courses prior to the week 8 drop deadline and if you have fallen behind or you are not performing in courses to your satisfaction, you should drop courses by the drop deadline.

Another tool to manage your academics in addition to dropping a course by the drop date deadline is our Academic Consideration protocol. A student can request short term consideration if they need more time to complete an assignment or had to miss a class due to documented extenuating circumstances. Here is the link for information about that process:

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 in your courses.

Sincerely,


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