Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline

Dear Sofia Merigliano,

I have reviewed your petition to drop GNDS 125 (W23) after the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I acknowledge that you didn??t connect with Student Wellness Services until after the deadline to drop this course and I have granted this request due to the academic impacts of your extenuating circumstances as described in the documentation that you supplied. Going forward, I suggest that you pause to evaluate the impact of your health 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.

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)
