Dear Mr. Shin:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop ECON 351, ECON 361, ECON 421 (F 2015), ECON 255, ECON 320, ECON 354 and ECON 430 (W 2016) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

While I am granting your appeal, I do remain quite concerned about your health. If you are not currently seeing a counsellor on campus, I would strongly encourage you to do so. Accessing these resources on an ongoing basis can help you to overcome your personal challenges and allow you to be more successful in your studies. Appointments can be booked by calling 613-533-6000 ext 78264.

I would also recommend that you carefully monitor your academic progress over the winter term and if you feel that you are falling behind in your courses, please ensure that you drop them within the academic deadlines. 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,

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