Dear Milo,

I have carefully considered your appeal to waive your requirement to withdraw for 1 year. In light of the new documentation submitted from Dr. Wilson-Haffenden I am willing to grant your appeal. This practitioner attests that the condition which has impacted your academic performance in the past is being managed such that the anticipated academic impact going forward will be minimal.

I strongly encourage you to reduce your course load in Fall 2022 and Winter 2023 and to carefully evaluate your progress in each of your courses prior to the week 8 drop deadline. 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:

Please allow a few days for your file to be updated to allow you to register for courses.

Yours sincerely,


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