Dear Ms. Walwyn:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop ANAT 315 (F 2015) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

The appeal fee is applied to all appeals to offset administrative costs and cannot be waived. We always recommend that students not wait until the final hours on the deadline date to drop courses in case there is a technical issue, such as the one you experienced.

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.

I am confident that in the future you will make every effort to inform yourself of the academic regulations concerning deadlines as they are outlined in Important Dates Section on the Arts and Science web page. These deadlines have been established by the Faculty of Arts and Science to ensure a fair and equitable treatment of all students and to facilitate the timely completion of university studies at Queen's.

Yours sincerely,

Sue Blake
Assistant Dean (Studies)
