Dear Ms. Busch:

I have reviewed your appeal to change the grades you received in PHIL 257B (W 2014) to Aegrotat standing and LING 100B and PSYC 100B (W 2014) to Credit standing. After careful consideration of the documentation you submitted and the information supplied by the instructors about the circumstances surrounding these courses, I have decided to grant your appeal.

The instructors of these course have already submitted replacement grades based on the work you have completed, which will appear on your transcript as follows:

PHIL 257 C+ with the notation €œAegrotat: estimated grade€
LING 100 CR
PSYC 100 CR

I strongly support your plan to pursue a lighter course load next year and possibly take some time away from your studies depending on your recovery. In the meantime, I hope that you continue to seek regular treatment and that you will begin to see some improvement in your health soon.

Sincerely,

Johanne Bénard, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Studies)
