Dear Mr. Smolej:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop ANAT 100 (S 2015) and CHEM 281 (F 2013) past the academic deadline as well as receive Credit standing in MATH 121 (FW 2012/13), PHGY 214 (FW 2013/14), STAT 263 (W 2014), ECON 212, ECON 231, (F 2014), ECON 222, ECON 255 (W 2015), CHEM 281, ECON 222, ECON 310 (F 2015) and EPID 301 (W 2016). After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

As per Academic Regulation 10.3.2, €œStudents may be granted aegrotat and/or credit standing for a maximum of 36.0 units during their entire program.€ You have now met this maximum so no further AG or CR notations can be requested.

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)
