Course: MUSC 105

Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline

Dear Ashley Dietrich,

I have reviewed your petition to drop MUSC 105 (W23) after the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I want you to know that this was a lenient decision as it is your responsibility to pause and evaluate the impact of extenuating circumstances on your classes during week 7 of the term. If you have fallen behind in a course or find the material too difficult, you should drop the course by week 8 of term. The drop deadlines, as they have been outlined in the ??Important Dates? section on the Arts and Science web page, have been established by the Faculty of Arts and Science to ensure fair and equitable treatment of all students.

I have granted this request due to the academic impacts of your circumstances as outlined in your petition letter, and the support that you??ve received from your instructor.

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)
