Dear Mr. Tian:

I have carefully considered your request to have your appeal heard after the one term deadline for submission and drop BIOL 540 (F/W 2015-16), PSYC 399 (W 2016), PHIL 311 (F 2016) past the academic deadlines and receive Credit standing in PSYC 203 (W 2016). Based on the circumstances you refer to in your letter of appeal and the information supplied by the instructor about the circumstances surrounding PSYC 203, I
have decided to waive the timeline and grant your request to drop BIOL 540, PSYC 399 and PHIL 311 past the academic deadlines and receive Credit standing in PSYC 203.

Your grade in PSYC 203 will appear on your transcript as 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.

Sincerely,


Johanne Bénard, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Studies)
