Dear Beatriz,
As part of the standard process when appealing to the Board of Studies, the Associate Dean (Academic) reviews your appeal submission again. I have carefully considered your appeal to late drop ANAT 215 (Fall 2022), BCHM 270, BIOL 206, MICR 386 (Winter 2023), and waive your requirement to withdraw for 1 year. I have reviewed your level 2 appeal including information about timeline and impacts provided in the letter from the psychologist (Dr. Rodrigues). For these reasons I am compelled to waive your requirement to withdraw and allow you to return to studies as of September 2023.
I have granted this appeal based on the severity of your extenuating circumstances and since you have sought out help. But I need to warn you that the appeals process is not meant to be used to manage ongoing problems. The Appeal process is designed for students who encounter problems, or whose problems become acute, after the drop deadline. Instead, I strongly advise you to continue to seek help in difficult times.
Other tools to manage your academics include dropping a course by the drop date deadline and 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:

Your progression will be assessed again after you have attempted another 18 units. I urge you to take advantage of the resources above and that your grades are stronger to avoid a requirement to withdraw for 3 years.
I would recommend meeting with an Academic Advisor to better understand the progression process. If you would like to book an appointment with an academic advisor, please login to our online booking system.
Please allow 7-10 days for your transcript and account to be updated.
Yours sincerely,
Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Academic)
