Dear Mr. Jang:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop BIOL 103, FREN P11 (W 2015), GNDS 125 and MUSC 102 (W 2016) past the academic deadline as well as receive Credit standing in POLS 110B (W 2016). After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I am pleased that you have sought help through Dr. Khanna as well as the other support services on campus and I strongly encourage you to continue with regular counselling over the next academic year. I would also suggest that you consider taking a lighter course load until your personal challenges have been resolved.

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 hopeful 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,

Johanne Bénard, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Studies)
