Dear Ms. Lawrie:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop BIOL 103 (W 2013), ENSC 321, ENSC 390, GPHY 304, and MATH 112 (W 2016) past the academic deadline as well as receive Credit standing in BIOL 102 (F 2012), CHEM 112, PHYS 117 (FW 2012/13), BIOL 102, GEOL 104 (F 2013) and BIOL 103 (W 2014). After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

Please ensure that you continue to monitor your academic progress carefully over the fall and winter terms. If you feel that you are not able to keep up with your current workload you should consider reducing your load by dropping courses within the academic deadlines. The last day to drop a fall term course is Friday, November 4 and the last day to drop a winter term course is Friday, March 3.

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)
