Dear Ms. Berry:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop SOCY 226 (F 2014), HIST 210, SOCY 227 (W 2015) and MUSC 171 (S 2015) past the academic deadline as well as receive Credit standing in SOCY 275 (F 2014) and Aegrotat standing in HIST 295 (F 2014), SOCY 273, SOCY 276 and HIST 206 (W 2015). After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

Your final grades in these courses will appear on your transcript as follows:

SOCY 275 CR
HIST 295 C+ Aegrotat: Estimated Grade
SOCY 276 C- Aegrotat: Estimated Grade
SOCY 273 C- Aegrotat: Estimated Grade
HIST 206 B- Aegrotat: Estimated Grade

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)
