Dear Mary Rush-Miller:

I have carefully considered your petition to drop RELS 163, PHIL 151 and LLCU 111 (F22) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I acknowledge that you are taking time away from your studies and that you have already dropped your Winter term classes in SOLUS. I have granted this petition due to the severity and academic impacts of your extenuating circumstances as confirmed by the documentation that you supplied. Upon your return to studies, it is your responsibility to evaluate the impacts of extenuating circumstances on your academic progress during Week 7 of each term and make sure to drop courses that you have fallen behind in, or in which you find the material too difficult, by the Week 8 drop deadline.

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.

Yours sincerely,

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