Dear Mr. Garnons-Williams:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop BIOL 103 (W 2016) past the academic deadline as well as receive Credit standing in BIOL 102 (F 2015), CHEM 112B, MATH 121B and PHYS 117B (W 2016). After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I commend you for having the courage, strength and determination to seek help and take the steps needed to overcome your challenges. I wish you continued success in your future and encourage you to seek academic advice and guidance through the Faculty Office over the next year to help you stay on track. Appointments with an Academic Advisor can be made by calling 613-533-2470.

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.

Please also remember to monitor the drop deadlines 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,
