Dear Ms. Savard:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop ENGL 271 (W 2017) past the academic deadline as well as receive Credit standing in ENGL 237 (W 2017) and Aegrotat standing in GNDS 215 (W 2017) and ENGL 200 (FW 2016/17). After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

Your grades in ENGL 237, GNDS 215 and ENGL 200 will appear on your transcript as follows:

GNDS 215 C+ €œAegrotat: estimated grade€
ENGL 200 C €œAegrotat: estimated grade€
ENGL 237 CR

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)
