Dear Fiona:

I have carefully considered your petition to drop CISC 101, ECON 111, MATH 225, MATH 280 and STAT 268 (F24) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I acknowledge that you took the 2025 Winter term away from your studies and I have granted this request due to the timeline of extenuating circumstances as reported within your petition letter. Your grades in these courses will be replaced with a DR notation on your transcript.

Upon your return to studies, it is the student’s responsibility to pause and evaluate the impact of extenuating circumstances on their classes prior to the drop deadline of the term. If they have fallen behind in a course or find the material too difficult, they should drop the course by the deadline. The drop deadlines, outlined in the “Important Dates” section on the Faculty of Arts and Science web page, have been established 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,

Dorit Naaman
Associate Dean (Academic)
