Dear Ms. Carmichael:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop GNDS 125, GPHY 102, LING 100B, PSYC 100B and RELS 131B (W 2014) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request. As a result of this decision, your academic record was reassessed and the Required to Withdraw for One Year ruling was removed, as it no longer applies. You currently remain in good academic standing and you are eligible to return to studies for the 2014/15 academic year.

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 Upcoming 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,

J. Hugh Horton, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Studies)
