Associate Dean: Sue Blake
Student Name: Nicholas Wright
Student Email: 11ncw2@queensu.ca



Dear Mr. Wright:

I have carefully considered your request to have your appeal heard after the 21-day timeline for submission. Based on the circumstances you refer to in your letter of appeal, I have decided to waive the timeline and grant your request to drop GEOL 463, GPHY 229, GPHY 317, GPHY 318, GPHY 336 (Fall 2015), ENSC 301, GPHY 312, GPHY 345, GPHY 411 and GPHY 417 (W 2016) past the academic 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)
