Dear Ms. DiCicco:

I have carefully considered your appeal to drop ECON 348 and ECON 222 (W 2018) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

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. I encourage you to pause and evaluate your progress in courses prior to week 7 of term and if you have not been attending, participating, or handing in all assignments and completing tests on time, be sure to drop your courses by Week 8 of term. Late Drops and appeals for Credit are a remedy when something beyond your control happens after week 8.

Yours sincerely,



Jill Atkinson, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Studies)
