Dear Mr. Dignam:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop PSYC 100 (FW 2015/16) past the academic deadline as well as receive Aegrotat standing in ENGL 100 (FW 2015/16). After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

Your instructor for ENGL 100 has submitted a replacement grade based on the work you have submitted which will appear on your transcript as B+, along with the notation €œAegrotat: 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,

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