Dear Ms. Luis:

I have carefully considered your request to have your appeal heard after the 21-day timeline for submission. Based on the circumstances and documentation from your previous appeal, I decided to waive the timeline and grant your request to drop SOCY 389 (F 2015) past the academic deadline. I have also reviewed your appeal to drop GNDS 215 and WRIT 250 (F 2016) past the academic deadline and I will grant this request as well.

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)
