Submit an Academic Petition or Appeal

Petition Letter: Recipient: Associate Dean (Studies) Dr. Bénard

Email Address: f2deans@queensu.ca


Respected Associate Dean (Studies) Dr. Bénard,

I am appealing to you in order to enroll in GEOL 106 - 001 (Winter 2017) and PHYS P20 - 700 (Winter 2017) courses late this term. The enrolment of these two classes will allow me to graduate in the Spring of 2017.
The weekend following the last date to add courses, I was re-checking Solus, the Academic Requirements section of my degree, and I noticed that I did not have the required credits to graduate. In the outset, Solus stipulated that all requirements were met for my General Science Degree (90.0 Credit requirement). However, after removing the courses from my shopping cart that I did not enroll in for the Winter term, Solus requirements changed to 84.0/90.0 taken for my General Degree. I did not realize until too late that the courses in the shopping cart showed up as if I was enrolled in them, thus leaving me 6.0 credits short of graduating this spring.
On the first business day after realizing my situation, I called Queen's student services and was advised to appeal to you. I contacted the professors of each of the above courses, as well as both Undergraduate Chairs, and have acquired permissions for late enrollment in both courses from all the required parties. The proof of permissions will be included in the supplemented documentation as screen shots of each email I received, stating each parties' explicit permission.

Thank you,
Sincerely,
Edward Ascan
