Submit an Academic Petition or Appeal

Appeal Number: 2309
Decision Date: July 11, 2016
Associate Dean: Sue Blake
Student Name: Jimmy Richardson
Student Email: 15jar1@queensu.ca

Course: CLST 102
Term: Fall
Year: 2015
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline



Dear Mr. Richardson:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop CLST 102 (F 2015) and HLTH 102 (W 2016) past the academic deadline as well as receive Credit standing in ECON 110 (FW 2015/16). After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I would strongly recommend that pursue a lighter course load next year of 3 courses or 9.0 units per term (this is the minimum load required to retain full-time standing) until your medical condition is well under control.

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)
