Dear Shanice:

I am sorry to read in your petition letter that you have encountered challenges during the summer term and that your health has been impacted by extenuating circumstances. I have carefully considered your request to drop PHYS 118 (S 2023) past the academic deadline due to the circumstances you have outlined, and after reviewing your petition, I have decided to grant your request.

Going forward, I recommend that you continue to work with your healthcare professional and when you resume your studies at your home university, to seek out supports that may be available to you to help you manage your health.

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)
