Dear Ms. Palmer:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop PGHY 170 (F 2016) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

It is your responsibility to be aware of the drop deadlines and make proactive decisions about dropping courses if circumstances arise that cause you to fall behind in your courses. For the future, please ensure that you monitor your health and your academic progress carefully throughout the term and drop courses, as needed within the deadlines.

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)
